Single phase Eu doped GdMnO3 ceramics were prepared using solid state reaction route. Several different characterization techniques were used to investigate the structural and magnetic properties of the samples, including X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). All samples indicated single phase which confirmed by XRD and SEM. Magnetic measurements of the doped samples at the low temperature (10 K) revealed the existence of the ferromagnetic order with the certain doping concentration which could be possibly due to slight structural distortion in the lattice.
