Abstract
In this research, the formation process of nanocrystalline terbium orthoferrite (TbFeO3) obtained via a solution combustion technique was studied using powder X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, 57Fe Mo¨ssbauer spectroscopy, N2 adsorption analysis, and FTIR spectroscopy. It was shown that glycine-nitrate combustion method permits one to obtain TbFeO3 of three different modifications: orthorhombic o-TbFeO3 (Pbnm), hexagonal h-TbFeO3 (P63/mmc) and amorphous am-TbFeO3. It was found that the average crystallite sizes of orthorhombic and hexagonal TbFeO3 were 29±3 and 15±2 nm, respectively. The formation mechanism of different structural forms of terbium orthoferrite was investigated on the basis of nanopowders morphology, specific surface areas, average pore sizes, and crystallite sizes.
