Abstract
The oxide, NdFeMnO5, has been synthesized using a two-step synthesis process. First the precursor oxides are high-energy ball milled and the as-milled powders are then sintered to obtain the NdFeMnO5 phase. X-ray diffraction confirms phase formation and the calculated pattern is obtained by the substitution of Mn3+ sites by Fe3+ sites. Agglomeration of small sized grains is observed from the scanning electron microscopy images. Room temperature magnetization measurement shows a paramagnetic behaviour. A ferrimagnetic ordering is observed to be established below ~110 K from the thermo-magnetization measurements.
