摘要
In this work, the structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of orthorhombic TbMnO3 and Tb0.67Ho0.33MnO3 ceramics are presented. The lattice parameters and the Mn-O-Mn bond angle were found to decrease with Ho-substitution as evidenced by Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction data and Raman spectroscopy measurements. A weak ferromagnetic moment was observed in both dc and ac magnetic measurements of the Ho-substituted sample possibly due to spin canting in the antiferromagnetic phase. Tb0.67Ho0.33MnO3 was confirmed to be multiferroic with appearance of spontaneous polarization below 25 K and an additional increase in polarization similar to 15.5 K associated with the ordering of the Ho3+ moments.
