Alpha-CaCr2O4: magnetic study of a new case of triangulaire Cr-lattice
We propose to study a layered oxide in which chromium cations describe a triangular array. Itseems us that no magnetic data are reported up to now for this alpha-CaCr2O4... -
Negative thermal expansion in the rutile phase of ZnF2
It has recently been discovered than the rutile phase of zinc fluoride shows negative thermal expansion along all three crystallographic axes. What is highly unusual about this... -
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... -
Probing the magnetic structure of transition metal pyrovanadate Fe2V2O7
We have synthesized and characterized a new member, namely Fe2V2O7 in the family of 3d transition metal pyrovanadate M2V2O7 (M =Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu). M2V2O7 exist with a great... -
