Abstracts

The magnetic properties including magnetic structure of poly and nano samples of TbMnO_{3} are determined. All the samples investigated are antiferromagnets. In these samples the Mn ad Tb moments order antiferromagnetically at different temperatures and form modulated magnetic structure described by the propagation vector k=(k_{x},0,0) with different value of k_{x} for the Mn and Tb sublattices. Comparison of the data for poly and nano samples indicates the decrease of the moment and increase of the k_{x} component of propagation vector in the nano specimens. The wide Bragg peak related to the Tb sublattice suggests that the magnetic order has the claster-like character. The magnetic moments value in both sublattices is smaller, whereas the k_{x} values are larger for nano samples.
