Insights on Electric Polarization in $E$-type $R$MnO$_{3}$

ORAL

Abstract

Orthorhombic perovskite $E$-type $R$MnO$_{3}$ multiferroic systems were prepared by high pressure synthesis and solid state reaction. High pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction and x-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements were performed to explore the structural changes. The influence of the pressure on the electrical polarization is discussed. Theoretical analysis is used to predict pressure dependence of the polarization from the structural data derived from the refinements. This work is supported by DOE Grant DE-FG02-07ER46402.
