The problem of searching for low-dimensional magnetic systems has been a topical subject and attracted attention the chemistry physics community last decade. In systems, ions are distributed anisotopically form different groups such as dimers, chains, ladders, or planes. 3D frameworks, distances between equal in all directions while within from those groups. main approach desired is priori crystal chemical design expecting needed distribution transition metal resulting structure. One...
The crystal structure and physical properties of Bi3Pb2Nb2O11Cl, a member the Sillen−Aurivillius phase intergrowth family, have been probed using powder neutron diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), second harmonic generation (SHG) tests, alternating current impedance methods.
