Move over Oxides—Fluorides are just as exciting
Graduate student Nenian Charles and Professor Rondinelli report on the microscopic origins of symmetry-preserving transition in fluoromangates. The article appearing in Physical Review B and titled, Microscopic origin of pressure-induced isosymmetric transitions in...
Article on Second Harmonic Generating materials appears in Chemistry of Materials
Frequently the non-linear optical response of polar materials is explained using crystal-chemistry arguments based on microscopic dipoles which produce an electric polarization. How does one explain second harmonic generation (SHG) then in non-polar noncentrosymmetric...
Article on Octahedral Rotations published in The Journal of Chemical Physics
Dr. Antonio Cammarata reports with Professor Rondinelli in their new article, Covalent dependence of octahedral rotations in orthorhombic perovskite oxides, on how the dependence of octahedral rotations in orthorhombic ABO3 perovskite oxides depends on changes in...
