Abstract:
Structural studies of EuTiO3, conducted using synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction, reveal the sensitivity of this material to defects. The presence of a single tetragonal-cubic (I4/mcm-Pm-3m) transition is confirmed. Neutron diffraction measurements show EuTiO3 to have a G-type antiferromagnetic arrangement. Examinations of the symmetry-adapted tetragonal strains demonstrate that the stoichiometry impacts on the continuous nature of this. The impact of defects on the electrical conductivity and magnetodielectric effect is also described.

Thermal Sigmatropic Reactions: Overview
Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in...
