The crystal structure and magnetic properties of Sr2PrCr2BO9 (B=Sb, Nb, Ta)
In previous work we described La3Ni2SbO9 as the first example of a relaxor ferromagnet. We aim to understand what is special about La3Ni2SbO9 and synthesise new (A,A)3M2BO9... -

Improper ferroelectricity in hexagonal tungsten bronzes
We address the detailed atomistic mechanism of ferroelectricity in a new family of oxides typified by the composition CsNbW2O9. Contrary to the mechanism in most ferroelectrics,... -
The role of Disorder in Phase Transitions in some manganese Perovskites
The aim of this work is to understand the origin of the difference in the behaviour between the two doped manganites Sr0.65Pr0.35MnO3 and Sr0.70Ce0.30MnO3. The hypothesis we...
