Discovery and development of advanced materials requires understanding and control of the relationship between composition, structure and function. Traditionally, design has...

Pb-based materials such as PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT) are widely used as transducers, actuators and sensors in a range of modern technologies due to their excellent piezoelectric and...

The synthesis of a phase combining electrical polarisation P and spontaneous magnetisation M is hard because of the distinct electronic structure requirements for the main...

A new generation of low-power high-density information storage would be enabled by the development of ?multiferroic? materials which function at or above room temperature. Such...

We are investigating the design and synthesis of new Pb-free ferroelectrics that also offer long-range magnetic ordering at high temperatures by appropriate compositional...
