Abstract

Magnetic properties and structural phase transition of terbium ruthenate Tb3RuO7 are investigated through magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, high-temperature X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The structural phase transition from space group P2(1)nb to Cmcm has been observed at 402 K. Tb3RuO7 shows an antiferromagnetic transition at 17 K. In addition, another magnetic anomaly has been found at 10 K. Analysis of the magnetic specific heat for Tb3RuO7 indicates that the magnetic transitions at 10 and 17K are due to the magnetic ordering of Tb3+ and Ru5+ ions, respectively.
