Abstract

Terbium orthoferrite (TbFeO3) perovskite demonstrates specific magnetic properties which are object of interest. Aggregated granular nanopowder of TbFeO3 particles of 85.6 nm were obtained by direct solution combustion method. The orthorhombic perovskite structure (space group Pbnm) of the terbium orthoferrite was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. The unusual granular morphology and mesoporous structure of the nanopowder were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and adsorption-structural analysis via low-temperature (77 K) adsorption-desorption of nitrogen with a total porosity of 0.0145 cm³/g and average pore width of 12 nm. The magnetic properties of TbFeO3 nanoparticles were thoughtfully studied, M = 34.2 emu/g at T = 10 K, Hc = 300 Oe. The onset of reorientation of the Fe3+ spin system at T ~ 18 K and the antiferromagnetic ordering of Tb3+ ions at T ~ 4 K were observed by vibrational magnetometry. Obtained results confirm the flexible paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic behavior of granular TbFeO3 nanopowder.

Graphical Abstract

Highlight

  • Granular nanopowder of TbFeO3 was obtain by direct solution combustion method.

  • Aggregated granular morphology of perovskite TbFeO3 was confirmed.

  • Magnetization of TbFeO3 granules is in pronounced dependence of temperature.
