Abstract

We will address in detail the structural distortions responsible for the symmetry lowering of the ideal cubic Pm-3m perovskite to the orthorhombic Pnma structure of RFeO3 and RMnO3 (R = trivalent rare-earth cation), important to the stabilization of the different magnetic and multiferroic phases in these materials. We will also show how the Amplimodes tool of Bilbao Crystallographic Server is useful in quantifying these distortions and establish which phonons can be used as probes of both the octahedra tilting and deformation.

Author Biography

Joaquim Agostinho Moreira, IFIMUP and Departamento de Física e Astronomia da Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto

J Agostinho Moreira (Ph.D.-Physics), is Assistant Professor of Physics, head of the Group of Polarizable Materials and Magnetoelectric Nanostructures, of Institute de Física dos Materiais Avançados, Nanotecnologias e Fotónica – IFIMUP, Chairman of the Structure and Dynamics Section of the Condensed Matter Physics Division of the European Physical Society. Currently, He is the President of the Pedagogic Council of Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto. J Agostinho Moreira’s research focus on the structure and dynamics of multiferroic materials under extreme conditions, plasmonic-based biosensor for SERS applications, and photoinduced transient states in matter with strong electron-spin-lattice coupling. He has strong interest on Physics Education.
