Open AccessDisplacive-type ferroelectricity from magnetic correlations within spin-chain
Observation of ferroelectricity among non-d0 systems, which was believed for a long time an unrealistic concept, led to various proposals for the mechanisms to explain the same (i.e. magnetically induced ferroele...

Synthesis of nanocrystalline mixed metal fluorides in nonaqueous medium
Synthesis of mixed metal fluorides of the general formula, KMF3 (M = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn), possessing perovskite structure was investigated in non-aqueous medium. The fluorides were characterized by powder ...

On the new structural phases in Al65Cu20Cr15 quasicrystalline alloy
The quasicrystalline (qc) alloy Al65Cu20Cr15, unlike its Ru- and Fe-bearing counterparts like Al65Cu20Ru15 and Al65Cu20Fe15, is a metastable phase. This qc alloy has been shown to possess several structural varia...

Electrical conductivity and structural behaviour of Al65Cu20Ru15 quasicrystalline alloy
The low temperature conductivity σ (T) and the magnetoresistance (up to 8 T) of a phason disorder free pure Al65Cu20Ru15 quasicrystalline alloy, prepared by melt casting, has been investigated in the temperature ...

Coherent orientation relationship among various quasicrystalline and crystalline phases in rapidly solidified Al78Mn20Ge2 alloy
Rapidly solidified Al78Mn20Ge2 alloy exhibits a curious structural feature; this corresponds to the simultaneous occurrence of almost all the quasicrystalline phases, e.g., primitive and face-centered icosahedral...
