Abstract
Our present study on oriented single crystal revealed huge magneto-crystalline anisotropy with respect to principal crystallographic axes, even several magnetic transitions were observed below TN = 748 K (c-axis) at 700 K (a-axis) as well 657 K (b-axis). The spin reorientation of magnetic moment takes place in very narrow temperature range between 135 K and 125 K and is attributed to vanishing of ferromagnetic component aligned along b-axis. Measurements of magnetic isotherms trace the development of ferromagnetic component and revealed the intermediate temperature range between 120 K and 20 K which is characterised by zero ferromagnetic components in any principal crystal direction. The ferromagnetic component develops consecutive at low temperature below 20 K along a-axis. Our study indicates completely different magnetic structure of NdFe0.9Mn0.1O3 below 135 K in comparison with NdFeO3.
