Room-temperature ferroelectric polarization in multiferroic BiMnO3
Single-phase multiferroic BiMnO3 ceramic was synthesized via high-pressure and high-temperature solid-state reaction. Microstructure modification accompanied by emergence of superlattice due to electron-beam irradiation was observed wherein by means of electron diffraction (ED) combined with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). It was clearly evidenced that the well-establi...
متن کاملElectron diffraction study of the structure of vinylidene fluorideâ•fitrifluoroethylene copolymer nanocrystals
The structures of nanocrystals consisting of 70% vinylidene fl uoride and 30% trifl uoroethylene made by Langmuir–Blodgett deposition were studied using transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. Highly ordered nanocrystals with sizes ranging from 100 nm to 4 μm were grown on Langmuir–Blodgett fi lms at a deposition surface pressure of 20 mN m−1. Electron diffraction patterns fr...
متن کاملCrystallographic preferred orientations analysis of quartz crystals in Psammite using electron backscatter diffraction,western Ireland
The present study investigates the crystal preferred orientation (CPO) of quartz crystals in psammitic rocks to ascertain the deformationmechanism using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) on quartz crystals from north of the Renvyle-Bofin Slide (RBS) nearLetterfrack in western Ireland. Complete crystallographic orientations were determined for several thousand individual quartz crystalsin ...
متن کاملMagnetic ground state and multiferroicity in BiMnO3
We argue that the centrosymmetric C2/c symmetry in BiMnO3 is spontaneously broken by antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions existing in the system. The true symmetry is expected to be Cc, which is compatible with the noncollinear magnetic ground state, where the ferromagnetic order along one crystallographic axis coexists with the the hidden AFM order and related to it ferroelectric polarization ...
متن کاملLocal distortions in multiferroic BiMnO3 as a function of doping.
The structure of doped BiMnO3 was studied using synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction. The dopants included isovalent magnetic and non-magnetic ions in the magnetic Mn sublattice (BiMn1-xMx O3 with M=Cr, Fe and Ga), isovalent ions in the Bi sublattice (Bi0.9La0.1MnO3) and isovalent self-dopants (Bi0.95MnO2.925). The results indicate that at low doping levels, the orbitally ordered structure (C2/...
