Abstract BiScO 3-PbTiO 3 (BS-PT) system has been extensively investigated over two
decades since the discovery in 2001 for its high piezoelectric coefficient and high Curie …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE), referring to the lattice contraction upon heating, has
been an attractive topic of solid-state chemistry and functional materials. The response of a …

Describing all aspects of the physics of transition metal compounds, this book provides a
comprehensive overview of this unique and diverse class of solids. Beginning with the basic …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is an intriguing physical property of solids, which is a
consequence of a complex interplay among the lattice, phonons, and electrons …

Over the last 30 years, the study of ferroelectric oxides has been revolutionized by the
implementation of epitaxial‐thin‐film‐based studies, which have driven many advances in …

Explains the underlying structure that unites all disciplinesin chemistry Now in its second
edition, this book explores organic, organometallic, inorganic, solid state, and materials …

Multiferroics—materials which are simultaneously (ferro) magnetic and ferroelectric, and
often also ferroelastic—attract now considerable attention, both because of the interesting …

The unusual property of negative thermal expansion is of fundamental interest and may be
used to fabricate composites with zero or other controlled thermal expansion values. Here …

Strain engineering has emerged as a powerful tool to enhance the performance of known
functional materials. Here we demonstrate a general and practical method to obtain super …

In the search for multiferroic materials magnetic compounds with a strongly elongated unit-
cell (large axial ratio c/a) have been scrutinized intensely. However, none was hitherto …
