Multiferroic rare-earth manganates TbMn2O5 and TbMnO3 were synthesized selectively via a one-pot hydrothermal route. The different morphologies can be obtained by changing the ratio of reactants MnCl2·4H2O and KMnO4. SEM and TEM images showed a high quality for the products that was also confirmed by XPS patterns and Raman spectra.
