Structure and magnetic order in chemically modified schafarzikites
Schafarzikite minerals are structurally interesting in having 1-D chains of edge-linked transition metal octahedra. This experiment aims to determine the cause of the... -
Magnetostriction in (Bi, La)-orthoferrites
We have recently observed unusual magnetostrictive behaviour in Bi0.5La0.5FeO3 (BLFO), a phenomenon which is not present in either solid solution end member. This proposal seeks...
