Emergence of long-range order in BaTiO3 from local symmetry-breaking distortions
M. S. Senn, D. A. Keen, T. C. A. Lucas +2
By using a symmetry motivated basis to evaluate local distortions against pair distribution function data (PDF), we show without prior bias, that the off-centre Ti displacements in…
S=1/2 quantum critical spin ladders produced by orbital ordering in Ba2CuTeO6
A. S. Gibbs, A. Yamamoto, A. N. Yaresko +10
The ordered hexagonal perovskite Ba2CuTeO6 hosts weakly coupled S=1/2 spin ladders produced by an orbital ordering of Cu2+. The magnetic susceptibility chi(T) of Ba2CuTeO6 is well…
Connecting Defects and Amorphization in UiO-66 and MIL-140 Metal-organic Frameworks: A Combined Experimental and Computational Study
Thomas D. Bennett, Tanya K. Todorova, Emma F. Baxter +7
The mechanism and products of the structural collapse of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) UiO-66, MIL-140B and MIL-140C upon ball-milling are investigated through solid state 13…
Anomalously slow spin dynamics and short-range correlations in the quantum spin ice systems Yb2Ti2O7 and Yb2Sn2O7
A. Maisuradze, P. Dalmas de Reotier, A. Yaouanc +3
We report a positive muon spin relaxation and rotation (\muSR) study of the quantum spin ice materials Yb2Ti2O7 and Yb2Sn2O7 focusing on the low field response. In agreement with e…
A ferroelectric-like structural transition in a metal
Youguo Shi, Yanfeng Guo, Xia Wang +13
Metals cannot exhibit ferroelectricity because static internal electric fields are screened by conduction electrons, but in 1965, Anderson and Blount predicted the possibility of a…
Design of crystal-like aperiodic solids with selective disorder--phonon coupling
Alistair R. Overy, Andrew B. Cairns, Matthew J. Cliffe +2
Functional materials design normally focuses on structurally-ordered systems because disorder is considered detrimental to many important physical properties. Here we challenge thi…
