The confinement of electronic wavefunctions in momentum space can give rise to flat electronic bands, where the quenching of kinetic energy enhances the density of states and amplifies interaction effects. Such conditions are fertile ground…
Despite their structural similarities, SrBi$_2$Ta$_2$O$_9$ (SBT) and SrBi$_2$Nb$_2$O$_9$ (SBN) undergo a different sequence of phase transitions. The phase diagram of SBT as a function of the temperature includes an intermediate phase…
