While early magnetic memory designs relied on magnetization switching by locally
generated magnetic fields, key insights in condensed matter physics later suggested the …

The perovskite structure is one of the most wonderful to exist in nature. It obeys to a quite
simple chemical formula, ABX 3, in which A and B are metallic cations and X, an anion …

The paper first introduces the basic physics behind perovskite multiferroics. Then the recent
progress on simple, complex perovskites, and manganites are briefly reviewed. The review …

We review and critique the recent developments on multifunctional oxide materials, which
are gaining a good deal of interest. Recongnizing that this is a vast area, the focus of this …

Simple Bi-based compounds, BiMO3, are quite interesting materials. They offer large
variations in crystal symmetries, polarity, and properties. Their chemical simplicity makes …

Multiferroic materials are those which possess both ferroelectric and ferromagnetic
properties. Clearly, there is a contradiction here since ferromagnetism requires d-electrons …

This work concentrates on the improvement of LaMnO 3 perovskite catalysts for methane
combustion by an effective and mild citric acid etching strategy. The etched catalysts showed …

Ferroelectrics are non-centrosymmetric crystalline materials that possess a spontaneous
polarization that can be switched by an electric field. The electric-field-dependent optical …

The magnetic properties of PbVO3, a PbTiO3-type perovskite with a large tetragonal
distortion (c/a= 1.229), were investigated. The temperature dependence of the measured …

The structure and properties of the possible multiferroic, BiMnO3, are calculated using the
LDA+ U method of density functional theory. The symmetry is found to be centrosymmetric C …
