Structural phase diagram of rare earth substituted multiferroic BiFeO3
BiFeO3 is one of the most widely studied multiferroics (ferroelectric TC ~ 830°C, and antiferromagnetic TN ~ 370°C). Rare earth doping has been shown to be a suitable method of... -
pressure induced para-antiferromagnetic switching in the multiferroic BiFeO3 ...
We have shown using previous experiments that moderate hydrostatic pressures can be used to switch phase from tetragonal to rhombohedral in the material BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 at room... -
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... -
Magnetoelectric coupling in the multiferroic ceramic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3
The polycrystalline ceramic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3 is both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic for a wide range of compositional space. We have shown in previous experiments that (1)... -
Rosseinsky programme access GEM
The proposal develops recent observations on spin-lattice coupling in incommensurate materials (objective - measure influence of applied field on evolution of structural... -
Study of magnetic spiral in the room temperature multiferroic BiFeO3 - PbTiO3
BiFeO3 is a room temperature multiferroic, displaying both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic (AFE) ordering. x-BiFeO3 - (1-x)-PbTiO3 is also multiferroic at room temperature... -
Electric field effects on the spin correlation length in multiferroic delafos...
In a previous WISH experiment, we have succeeded in determining the incommensurate cycloidal magnetic structure of AgFeO2, which induces a ferroelectric polarization[1].... -
Structural phase diagram of rare earth substituted multiferroic BiFeO3 - revi...
BiFeO3 is the most widely studied multiferroic and rare earth doping overcomes problems associated with phase metastability and leakage which have hampered applications. We...
