Multiferroic (Ferroelastic/Magnetic) Phase Transitions in KMnF3
KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling... -
Exploring local structure in hydrated LiRAPs using pair distribution function...
Many of the devices currently used for energy storage (e.g., batteries, solar cells) use liquid electrolytes that are known to pose a serious fire and safety risk. In recent... -
High Resolution Powder Diffraction of Manganites to Determine Bond Lengths as...
Manganites show promise as magnetocaloric materials - for use in solid-state refrigeration - in terms of cost, durability and tunable thermal conductivity. By tuning the... -
Proton dynamics in novel organic ferroelectric materials
The vast majority of known ferroelectrics are inorganic compounds such as barium titanate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Contrary to naïve expectation, ferroelectricity in...
