Directed Lifting of Inversion Symmetry in Ruddlesden–Popper Oxide–Fluorides: Toward Ferroelectric and Multiferroic Behavior

By Mark | News, Publications | Comments are Closed | 15 November, 2016 | 0

Ronghuan Zhang, Mark S. Senn, and Michael A. Hayward, Chem. Mater., DOI: 10.1021/acs.chemmater.6b03931   The cooperative tilting distortions of n = 2 Ruddlesden–Popper oxides can be utilized to break the inversion symmetry of the host lattice and induce ferroelectric behavior. Unfortunately the desired a–a–c+/a–a–c+ structural deformation is only stabilized in phases with extremely small structuralRead more

Emergence of long-range order in BaTiO3 from local symmetry-breaking distortions

By Mark | News, Publications | Comments are Closed | 20 May, 2016 | 0

M. S. Senn, D. A. Keen, T. C. A. Lucas, J. A. Hriljac, and A. L. Goodwin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 116 (2016), 207602. By using a symmetry motivated basis to evaluate local distortions against pair distribution function data (PDF), we show without prior bias, that the off-centre Ti displacements in the archetypal ferroelectric BaTiO3 are zone centred and rhombohedral-like in natureRead more
