Ordering phenomena and magnetic phase transitions in Mn2TeO6
Our aim is to study with high resolution neutron powder diffraction the two orthorhombic phases of Mn2TeO6 at RT, so as to understand the origin of the observed structural... -
Metal Atom Ordering in Thermoelectric Materials
Preparation of materials Co3-xNixSn2S2 (0 < x < 3) has enabled the effect of electron-doping on the thermoelectric properties of shandites to be investigated. DFT... -
Structural Phase Transition with a Large Volume Change in (Bi,Nd)FeO3
BiFeO3 attracts considerable attention because of its multiferroic and ferroelectric properties. Nd-substitutions in antiferromagnetic BiFeO3 induce a significant ferromagnetic... -
Local structures and dynamics of new functional oxides
The melilite family are new xoide ion conductors with high mobility at low temperatures. Average structures suggest that the ability of the structure to accomodate high levels...
