The role of Bi in magnetic and structural dimerization of Ba3BiRu2O9.
The aim of the present proposal is to use total scattering to investigate changes in the local structure of Ba3BiRu2O9. This compound undergoes an unusual magnetovolume... -
MuSR study of a spin gap opening associated with an extraordinary magnetovolu...
We have discovered an unusual magnetovolume effect in the 6H-perovskite oxides Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba3BiRu2O9. These compounds contain isolated face-sharing bi-octahedral dimers... -

We have discovered an unusual magnetovolume effect in the 6H-perovskite oxides Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba3BiRu2O9. These compounds contain isolated face-sharing bi-octahedral dimers... -
Single-crystal neutron diffraction studies of chain-ordered brownmillerite su...
We are performing structural investigations of a series of brownmillerites (Sr,Ca)2(Fe,Co)2O5 which display long-range modulated ordering of oxygen vacancies at ambient and high... -
Effects of external and chemical pressure on the magnetovolume effects in Ba3...
Ba3BiIr2O9 and Ba3BiRu2O9 undergo very unusual structural transitions at 74 and 176 K respectively, with instantaneous negative thermal expansion of up to 1% in the Ir compound....
