Multiferroic (Ferroelastic/Magnetic) Phase Transitions in KMnF3
KMnF3 perovskite undergoes 3 structural, and two magnetic phase transitions on cooling from 300 K to 2 K. Above 185 K the compound is in the aristotype structure, on cooling... -
Probing the temperature dependence of magnetism in Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2
We propose to study the temperature evolution of magnetic excitations in optimal doped Ba0.67K0.33Fe2As2, this work will complement our earlier work on the samples at base... -
High Resolution Powder Diffraction of Manganites to Determine Bond Lengths as...
Manganites show promise as magnetocaloric materials - for use in solid-state refrigeration - in terms of cost, durability and tunable thermal conductivity. By tuning the... -
Magnetic order in the quantum critical phase of Sr3Ru2O7
Many novel electronic ground states form in close proximity to quantum critical points (QCPs), that is, the point where a continuous phase transition occurs at zero temperature.... -
Quasi-elastic neutron study of the organic cation dynamics in the halide pero...
Solar cells based on a layer of halide perovskite have recently seen rapid increases in efficiency, with certified values in excess of 20%. The prototypical material of 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... -
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...
