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.
