The rotation of octahedra (octahedral tilting) is common in ABO3 perovskites and relevant to many physical phenomena, ranging from electronic and magnetic properties, metal-insulator transitions to improper ferroelectricity. Hydrostatic…

Negative charge transfer $AB$O$_3$ oxides may undergo electronic metal--insulator transitions (MIT) concomitant with a dilation and contraction of nearly rigid octahedra. On both sides of the MIT are in-phase or out-of-phase (or both)…
