Ceramics compositions (1-x)Pb(Zr0.53Ti0.47)O3-xGdMnO3 (x= 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, and 0.05) were synthesized by solid-state route sintered at 1180 °C for 2 h. Structural, microstructural, dielectric properties of the system investigated. X-ray structural analysis materials confirmed their formation in a single phase with tetragonal crystal structure. The PZT ceramics doped 0.04 moles GdMnO3 ...

Single phase Eu doped GdMnO3 ceramics were prepared using solid state reaction route. Several different characterization techniques were used to investigate the structural and magnetic properties of the samples, including X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). All samples indicated single p...

Resonant magnetic x-ray scattering at the Gd L2 edge is used to investigate the magnetic order of the Gd moments in multiferroic GdMnO3 at low temperatures. We present high magnetic field data on the magnetic ordering of Gd in the ferroelectric phase of GdMnO3. Our findings reaffirm the important role of the Gd moments in the symmetric magnetic exchange striction responsible for ferroelectricit...

GdMnO3 shows an incommensurate antiferromagnetic order below ≃ 42 K, transforms into a canted A-type antiferromagnet below ≃ 20 K, and for finite magnetic fields along the b axis ferroelectric order occurs below ≃ 12 K. From high-resolution thermal expansion measurements along all three principal axes, we determine the uniaxial pressure dependencies of the various transition temperatures and di...
