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... -
The high temperature phases of multiferroic YMnO3
Hexagonal YMnO3 is a well-studied, but poorly understood, multiferroic material, which adopts the 'geometric' mechanism of ferroelectric distortion, rather than the more normal... -
Crystal structure and thermal expansion of acetylene (C2D2)
Acetylene is produced in great abundance in the solar system wherever carbonaceous solids are exposed to energetic radiation. It has been the subject of several studies,... -
Nuclear Dynamics in Methylammonium Lead Iodide, One Atom at a Time
Methylammonium lead iodide is currently one of the most promising materials for solar energy applications, with light-conversion efficiencies exceeding 20%. Although insightful,... -
