The complex oxide BiMnFe2O6 crystallizing in a centrosymmetric orthorhombic structure (Pbcm) is known to exhibit a spiral antiferromagnetic ordering at T-N similar to 212 K and an anomaly in magnetization at low temperature ...

Ti-rich double perovskites LnCu(3-y)Ti(2-x)Mn(2+x+y)O(12) have been synthesized at normal pressure, with a wide homogeneity range, 0 < x < 0.5 and 0 < y <= 1. ALL these oxides are ferrimagnetic, with T-C ranging from 160 ...

The potassium vanadium oxide-fluoride phase -KVOF3 was prepared by in-situ reduction with hydrothermal methods and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The compound ...

MgB2 superconductor sample co-doped with nano-carbon (n-C) and nano-silica (n-SiO2) is prepared and its structural and superconducting properties are compared with pure and n-C and nano SiC (n-SiC) mono-doped samples. ...

A few oxides such as YMnO3, TbMnO3, YMn2O5 and BiFeO3 constituted the small family of well-characterized multiferroics until recently, but this area of research has been enlarged significantly due to the advent of a novel ...

In view of the continued controversy concerning the polar/nonpolar nature of the hybrid perovskite system, CH3NH3PbI3, we report the first investigation of a time resolved pump probe measurement of the second harmonic ...

We report the discovery of the linear magnetoelectric effect in a family of spinel oxides, Co3O4 and MnB2O4 (B = Al, Ga) with simple collinear antiferromagnetic spin structure. An external magnetic field induces a dielectric ...

High-resolution neutron powder diffraction is used to demonstrate that the Eu2+ moments in EuZrO3 are oriented along the c axis, in contrast to EuTiO3 where the moments lie within the ab plane. By applying a Landau theory ...

Classical magnetoresistance generally follows the quadratic dependence of the magnetic field at lower field and finally saturates when field is larger. Here, we report the large positive non-saturating linear magnetoresistance ...

The influence of rare earth (RE - Ce, Gd) doping at the Nd site in the NdFeAsO0.7F0.3 superconductor wherein Ce and Gd have ionic radii in the order Ce > Nd > Gd is investigated. The structural and superconductivity ...
