Magnetic Properties of $NdFe_{0.9}Mn_{0.1}O_{3}$

In our paper we study effect of Mn for Fe substitution on magnetic properties of $NdFe_{x-1}Mn_{x}O_{3}$ compounds for x=0 and 0.1, which have been grown by the OFZ technique. The Néel temperature decreases from $T_{N1}$=691 K to $T_{N1}$=621 K, and the anomaly in AC susceptibility, related to spin reorientation, vanishes with Mn substitution. Low temperature heat capacity measurement for sample with x=0.1 revealed that substitution of Mn for Fe shifts a Schottky-type anomaly at $T_{sh}$ to higher temperatures. Another anomaly is generated by doping at $T_{max}$=11 K. The anomaly is smeared out by magnetic field, confirming its magnetic origin.
