Effects of lanthanide and manganese dopants on the crystal structure of BiFeO3
Enhancement of the ferroelectric properties of multiferroic BiFeO3 are known to occur when small amounts of Bi are replaced by lanthanide ions. Further levels of lanthanide... -
High resolution neutron diffraction studies of lanthanide zirconolites
The aim of this experiment is to determine high quality structural models for pyrochlore and zirconolite phases in the Y2Ti2-2xFexNbxO7 and Y2-xCexTi2-xFexO7 solid solutions,... -
Enhanced oxygen hyperstoichiometry in Y doped La9.33+xGe6O26+3x/2
Apatite-type lanthanide silicates/germanates have been attracting considerable interest as a new class of oxide ion conductors. The presence of interstitial oxide ions is...
