摘要
β-Mn2V2O7 crystals with strip shape are successfully prepared by the molten salt method in a closed crucible, and are characterized by x-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, selected area of electron diffraction （SAED） and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM）. The results indicate that the sample is of the β-Mn2V2O7 crystal with monoclinic symmetry, level natural cleavage facets and directional growth. Magnetic properties are measured by vibration sample magnetometry （VSM） at room temperature, and the magnetic hysteresis loop indicates that the β-Mn2V2O7 has anti-ferromagnetic properties with low coercive force and remnant magnetization. The magnetic measurement results in different directions exhibit that the β-Mn2V2O7 has magnetic anisotropy, which is due to the fact that the magnetic interaction energy of the β-Mn2V2O7 is lowest only when the electron configuration is in a certain direction.
