Anomalous magnetism in oxygen-deficient scandium-doped spin ice
Our previous diffuse neutron scattering experiment on SXD showed that oxygen vacancies are the dominant defects in spin ice. The substitution of tetravalent titanium by... -
Phonon Anomalies in YMnO3 at High Temperature
The reported structural phase transition in YMnO3 from P63cm to P63/mmc space group occurs at 1258 ±14 K. For low temperature phase (space group P63cm) the phonon modes are... -
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...
