arXiv:cond-mat/0702588 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.98.247602
Abstract
The structural features of the charge ordering states in LuFe2O4 are characterized by in-situ cooling TEM observations from 300K down to 20K. Two distinctive structural modulations, a major q1= (1/3, 1/3, 2) and a weak q2=q1/10 + (0, 0, 3/2), have been well determined at the temperature of 20K. Systematic analysis demonstrates that the charges at low temperatures are well crystallized in a charge stripe phase, in which the charge density wave behaviors in a non-sinusoidal fashion resulting in elemental electric dipoles for ferroelectricity. It is also noted that the charge ordering and ferroelectric domains often change markedly with lowering temperatures and yields a rich variety of structural phenomena.
