The discovery of magnetism by the ancient Greeks was enabled by the natural occurrence of
lodestone–a magnetized version of the mineral magnetite. Nowadays, natural minerals …

The instruments best suited to performing high-energy-resolution neutron spectroscopy are
spin-echo spectrometers and backscattering spectrometers. The development of these …

Using epitaxy and the misfit strain imposed by an underlying substrate, it is possible to
elastically strain oxide thin films to percent levels—far beyond where they would crack in …

accepted May 14, 2007; published June 25, 2007) A novel type of magnetic origin of
ferroelectric polarization is proposed. In crystals with triclinic, monoclinic, or trigonal …

This paper presents a detailed instruction manual for constructing the Landau expansion for
magnetoelectric coupling in incommensurate ferroelectric magnets, including Ni 3 V 2 O 8 …

Delafossite antiferromagnetic oxide CuCrO 2 was investigated by means of neutron powder
diffraction versus temperature. Evolution of the structural parameters (in the R 3¯ m …

Dedicated control of oxygen vacancies is an important route to functionalizing complex
oxide films. It is well-known that tensile strain significantly lowers the oxygen vacancy …

Ultrasonic velocity measurements on the magnetoelectric multiferroic compound CuFeO 2
reveal that the antiferromagnetic transition observed at T N1= 14 K might be induced by an …

The electronic transport properties of the delafossite oxides ABO 2 are usually understood in
terms of two well-separated entities, namely the triangular A+ and (BO 2)-layers. Here, we …

Magnetic exchange interactions in Mn3O4 spinel systems are complicated due to the
presence of magnetic frustration between one tetrahedral and two octahedral sites, and the …
