Structural and magnetic characterisation of new room temperature polar-magnetic materials

DOI

A new generation of low-power high-density information storage would be enabled by the development of “multiferroic” materials which function at or above room temperature. Such materials are rare, as they require polarisation P (usually arising from d0 cations such as Pb and Ti) to be coupled with spontaneous magnetisation from long-range magnetic ordering M (usually arising from unpaired d electrons in cations such as Fe3+) within a single phase material. Even where these antagonistic properties can be combined it is difficult to maintain the magnetic properties at room temperature; it is thus desirable to develop new approaches to combining P and M at high temperatures. We aim to use neutron powder diffraction to investigate new routes to the design and synthesis of new polar/ferroelectric materials that are magnetically ordered at room temperature.
