Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:5.3(Physics, Applied)We have investigated an average crystal structure and microstructures in LuFeTiO by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in combination with the dielectric measurements. In this work, high-qualitypolycrystalline samples of LuFeTiO were successfully synthesized in air by the conventional solid state reaction. The average crystal structure at room temperature is characterized by the hexagonal structure (space group: 6 cm). Dielectric measurements revealed that LuFeTiO shows broad dielectric dispersion around 570 K, which should originate from the formation of the polar domain structures on the nanometer scale.

We have investigated the Fe-site substitution effects in the electronic ferroelectric RFeO (R=rare earths). It was found that continuous solid solutions were formed for the Mn substitution; RFeMnO was synthesized for 0x1. On the other hand, the substitution of other cations (such as Cu and Ga) was possible in limited x regions; e.g., Ga could be substituted for 0x0.4-0.5 It was also found that the low-temperature magnetization and the dielectric constant were reduced by the substitution. Considering the mechanism of dielectric response in RFeO, the change of the physical properties likely arises from a change of electron transfer between the Fe-site ions.

We have investigated the crystal structure and physical properties of RFeTiO(R=Lu,Yb). The samples were prepared by the solid-state reaction method in air. X-ray and electron diffraction measurements showed that the materials have the same crystal structure as that of multiferroic RMnO. Magnetic measurements showed the absence of magnetic transition below 400 K. Dielectric measurements showed the peak of dielectric constant above room temperature, suggesting a existence of ferroelectric phase transition at high temperatures.

We have investigated the physical properties of YbFeMnO, a derivative system of the electronic ferroelectric RFeO (R: rare earths). Electron diffraction measurements showed taht long-range charge ordering of the Fe-3d charges was observed at room temperature for x=0; this ordering is the origin of ferroelectricity. The x=0.1 oxide showed diffuse scattering patterns at room temperature, instead of the charge-ordered pattern. Thus, 5% Mn substitution can collapse the long-range charge ordering. We will also present the correlation between the magnetic/dielectric properties and the crystal structure.
