Temperature dependences of a magnetic and an orbital Bragg reflection at the Mn L2 and L3 edges of La0.5Sr1.5MnO4 have been collected. The temperature evolution of the orbital reflection depend strongly on the x-ray energy and reflects the…
We have carried out neutron diffraction and small angle neutron scattering measurements on a high quality single crystal of the cubic lacunar spinel multiferroic, GaV$_4$S$_8$, as a function of magnetic field and temperature to determine…
A detailed reinvestigation of magnetization in La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 reveals that although a field of H = 7 T applied at T = 5 K after zero field cooling is insufficient to convert the low temperature charge ordered antiferromagnetic phase into…
We investigate the highly frustrated spin and orbital superexchange interactions in cubic vanadates. The fluctuations of $t_{2g}$ orbitals trigger a {\it novel mechanism of ferromagnetic interactions} between spins S=1 of V$^{3+}$ ions…
Soft resonant x-ray Bragg diffraction (SRXD) at the Ho M$_{4,5}$ edges has been used to study Ho $4f$ multipoles in the combined magnetic and orbitally ordered phase of HoB$_2$C$_2$. A full description of the energy dependence for both…
Using the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire phenomenological approach we explore the strain-polarization coupling in the low-dimensional van der Waals ferrielectrics. We evolve the analytical model of the piezoelectric susceptibility of the…
The orbital, lattice, and spin ordering phenomena in KCuF3 are investigated by means of LDA+U calculations, based on ab-initio pseudopotentials.We examine the Cu-3d orbital ordering and the associated Jahn-Teller distortion in several…
Full pattern Le-Bail refinement using x-ray powder diffraction profiles of Sr1-xCaxTiO3 for x=0.02, 0.04 in the temperature range 12 to 300 K reveals anomalies in the unit cell parameters at 170, 225 K due to an antiferrodistortive (cubic…
Pb(Fe$_{0.5}$Nb$_{0.5}$)O$_3$ (PFN), one of the few relaxor multiferroic systems, has a $G$-type antiferromagnetic transition at $T_N$ = 143 K and a ferroelectric transition at $T_C$ = 385 K. By using high-resolution neutron-diffraction…
Low temperature studies of the behavior of the sound velocity and attenuation of acoustic modes have been performed on a single crystal NdFe_3(BO_3)_4. Transitions of the magnetic subsystem to the antiferromagnetically ordered state at T_N…
Detailed neutron scattering measurements on the bond frustrated magnet ZnCr2S4 reveal a rich H-T phase diagram. The field dependence of the two subsequent antiferromagnetic transitions follows closely that of recently reported structural…
We report inelastic light scattering measurements of lattice dynamics related to the incommensurate orbital order in $\mathrm{CaMn_7O_{12}}$. Below the ordering temperature $T_\mathrm{o} \approx 250 \,\mathrm{K}$, we observe extra phonon…
There is great interest in hybrid organic-inorganic materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The compounds [C(NH$_{2}$)$_{3}$]M(HCOO)$_{3}$, where M=Cu$^{2+}$ or Cr$^{2+}$ are Jahn-Teller (JT) active ions, are MOF with perovskite…
Ferroelectric relaxors are complex materials with distinct properties. The understanding of their dielectric susceptibility, which strongly depends on both temperature and probing frequency, have interested researchers for many years. Here…
(NH$_4$)$_2$[FeCl$_5$(H$_2$O)], a member of the family of antiferromagnetic $A_2$[Fe$X_5$(H$_2$O)] compounds ($X$ = halide ion, $A$ = alkali metal or ammonium ion) is classified as a new multiferroic material. We report the onset of…
We present the dielectric and magnetodielectric properties of Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3 polycrystalline sample. Dielectric permittivity ({\epsilon'}) (and d{\epsilon'}/dT) portrays the charge order and other magnetic transitions observed in the…
Measurements of the electrical and thermal conductivities, thermopower and paramagnetic susceptibility have been performed on single crystal samples of Bi1/2Sr1/2MnO3 and complemented with the X-ray powder diffraction data. A pronounced…
We used femtosecond optical spectroscopy to study ultrafast spin and orbital ordering dynamics in the antiferromagnetic Mott insulator $\alpha$-Sr$_2$CrO$_4$. This chromate system possesses multiple spin and orbital ordered phases, and…
Using ab initio thermodynamics we compile a phase diagram for the surface of Fe3O4(001) as a function of temperature and oxygen pressures. A hitherto ignored polar termination with octahedral iron and oxygen forming a wave-like structure…
We study the phase transition behavior of the ferroelectric BaTi$_{0.8}$Zr$_{0.2}$O$_3$ in the paraelectric region. The temperature dependencies of thermal, polar, elastic and dielectric properties indicate the presence of local structures…
