Abstract

We report the synthesis and characterization of multiferroic TbMnO₃ nanorods by sol-gel route. From XRD analysis it was observed that annealing at 700°C for 2h is the most favorable condition for the fabrication of TbMnO₃ nano rods. The TEM study revealed that the diameter of these rods varied from 12.6 38.1 nm and the length of these nanorods varied from 88.6-292 nm. SAED pattern of the nano rods revealed single crystalline structure. Presence of TbMnO₃ nano particles was also observed along with the nanorods. UV,PL, F.T.I.R study on the samples annealed at different calcination condition is also reported.
