Colossal Dielectric Response and Electric Polarization in Lithium Nitrate
Na Du, Yan Zhao, Enting Xu +3
Lithium nitrate LiNO is identified to possess a dielectric constant ' larger than 6x10 at 1 kHz in powder samples above the critical temperature = 306 K. For sin…
Magnetism based on nitrate-nitrate interactions: The cases of LiNO, KRbNO, Ca(NO) and C(NH)NO
Na Du, Xintian Wang, Ruo Tong Wang +5
Long-range magnetic ordering of the orbital motion of oxygen atoms within NO cations is identified from experimental measurements of the magnetic susceptibility () in…
Gearing of nitrate ions in ammonium nitrate
Na Du, Xintian Wang, Yu Ying Zhu +3
Reorienting polyatomic ions such as NH4+ and NO3- exhibit weak magnetic fields because the ions at the extremities trace out current loops; if the periodic reorientations become lo…
Inducing ferroelectricity in NHI and NHBr via partial replacement of protons by deuterons
Miao Miao Zhao, Lei Meng, Yi Yang Xu +2
