Neutron powder diffraction refinement of PbZr(1 - x)Ti(x)O3.
Acta Crystallogr B 67:Pt 5 (2011) 386-398
Abstract:
Rietveld refinement of different structural models using neutron diffraction data for a series of powders of lead zirconate titanate, PbZr(1 - x)Ti(x)O(3) (PZT), is described. It is found that at all the compositions and temperatures studied the best results include contributions from more than one phase in order to fit the data. Consequently a new phase diagram is proposed.Cu3 Nb2 O8 : A multiferroic with chiral coupling to the crystal structure
Physical Review Letters 107:13 (2011)
Abstract:
By combining bulk properties, neutron diffraction, and nonresonant x-ray diffraction measurements, we demonstrate that the new multiferroic Cu 3Nb2O8 becomes polar simultaneously with the appearance of generalized helicoidal magnetic ordering. The electrical polarization is oriented perpendicularly to the common plane of rotation of the spins-an observation that cannot be reconciled with the conventional theory developed for cycloidal multiferroics. Our results are consistent with coupling between a macroscopic structural rotation, which is allowed in the paramagnetic group, and magnetically induced structural chirality. © 2011 American Physical Society.Facile Mechanosynthesis of Amorphous Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks
