The layered perovskites $R$Cr(BO$_3$)$_2$ ($R$ = Y and Ho) with magnetic triangular lattices were studied by performing ac/dc susceptibility, specific heat, elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, and dielectric constant measurements. The…
Using first-principles methods, we predict the energy landscape and ferroelectric states of double perovskites of the form AA$'$BB$'$O$_6$ in which the atoms on both the A and B sites are arranged in rock-salt order. While we are not aware…
CrN is observed to undergo a paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition accompanied by a shear distortion from cubic NaCl-type to orthorhombic structure. Our first-principle plane wave and ultrasoft pseudopotential calculations confirm…
Here, the first-principles predictions on the structural stability, magnetic behavior and electronic structure of B-site ordered double perovskite Nd$_{2}$FeCrO$_{6}$ have been reported. Initially, the ground state of the parent single…
In this article, we perform the symmetry analysis of perovskite-based multiferroics: bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3)-like, orthochromites (RCrO3), and Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites (Ca3Mn2O7-like), being the typical representatives of…
Rare earth based cobalt-ruthenium double perovskites A$_2$CoRuO$_6$ (A = La, Pr, Nd and Sm) were synthesized and investigated for their structural and magnetic properties. All the compounds crystallize in the monoclinic $P2_1/n$ structure…
In this contribution to the special issue on multiferroics we focus on multiferroicity driven by different forms of charge ordering. We will present the generic mechanisms by which charge ordering can induce ferroelectricity in magnetic…
We present an unrestricted Hartree-Fock computation of charge-ordering instabilities of two-dimensional metals with antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, allowing for arbitrary ordering wavevectors and internal wavefunctions of the…
Synchrotron X-ray diffraction patterns were measured and analyzed for a polycrystalline sample of the room-temperature ferromagnet Sr3.12Er0.88Co4O10.5 from 300 to 650 K, from which two structural phase transitions were found to occur…
We have studied the atomic ordering of B-site transition metals and magnetic properties in the pulsed-laser deposited films of La2CrFeO6 (LCFO) and La2VMnO6 (LVMO), whose bulk materials are known to be single perovskites with random…
The quadruple perovskite CaMn$_7$O$_{12}$ is a topical multiferroic, in which the hierarchy of electronic correlations driving structural distortions, modulated magnetism, and orbital order is not well known and may vary with temperature.…
The magnetic susceptibility, crystal and magnetic structures, and electronic structure of double perovskite Sr2ScOsO6 are reported. Using both neutron and x-ray powder diffraction we find that the crystal structure is monoclinic P21/n from…
We report the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of two 1:3 ordered quadruple perovskites Sr4MRu3O12 (M = Li and Na). Sr4NaRu3O12 crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group R-3 and Sr4LiRu3O12 appears to be isostructural to…
The incompatibility of partial d occupation on the perovskite B-site with the standard charge transfer mechanism for ferroelectricity has been a central paradigm in multiferroics research. Nevertheless, it was recently shown by density…
We present a first-principles study of ferroelectric domain walls (FE-DWs) in multiferroic BiFeO$_3$ (BFO), a material in which the FE order parameter coexists with anti-ferrodistortive (AFD) modes involving rotations of the O$_6$…
We have grown single crystals of multiferroic double-perovskite Lu2CoMnO6 and studied the directional dependence of their magnetic and dielectric properties. The ferromagnetic order emerges below TC ~ 48K along the crystallographic c axis.…
We show that the magnetism of double perovskite AFe_{1/2}M_{1/2}O_3 systems may be described by the Heisenberg model on the simple cubic lattice, where only half of sites are occupied by localized magnetic moments. The nearest-neighbor…
We present a density functional theory study of the low-temperature structural, magnetic, and proposed charge-quadrupolar ordering in the double perovskite, Ba$_2$MgReO$_6$. Ba$_2$MgReO$_6$ is a spin-orbit-driven Mott insulator with a…
We present a comprehensive study on the magnetic structure, dynamics, and phase evolution in the single-phase double perovskite $La_2CoMnO_6$. The mixed valence state due to oxygen deficiency is verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,…
We use first-principles calculations based on density functional theory to investigate the interplay between oxygen vacancies, A-site cation size / tolerance factor, epitaxial strain, ferroelectricity and magnetism in the perovskite…
