Ferroelastic transitions in quantum critical tetragonal tungsten bronzes
Tetragonal tungsten bronzes have three types of channels for ions with the smallest unusually occupied with Li in potassium lithium tantalate (KLT). This creates complexity... -
Investigation of ambient temperature polarity and magnetism in the ternary so...
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... -
In Situ Structural Study of Low Temperature Synthesised TiP2O7
The AX2O7 series has received much recent attention due to its ability to host a wide range of 4+ cations. The members of this series have been shown to exhibit complex... -
