Comprehensive study on the origin of orthorhombic phase stabilization in Gd-doped HfO and DFT calculations.

In recent times, ultra-thin films of hafnium oxide (HfO) have shown ferroelectricity (FE) attributed to the orthorhombic (o) phase of HfO with space group 2. This polar o-phase could be stabilized in the doped thin film of the oxide. In the present work, both polar and non-polar o-phases of HfO could be stabilized in Gd-doped bulk polycrystalline HfO.

Inverse magnetocaloric and exchange bias effects in single crystalline La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 nanowires.

We report the first observation of inverse magnetocaloric effect (IMCE) in hydrothermally synthesized single crystalline La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 nanowires.

Evidence of a canted magnetic state in self-doped LaMnO(3+δ) (δ = 0.04): a magnetocaloric study.

We report a detailed investigation of the magnetocaloric properties of self-doped polycrystalline LaMnO(3+δ) with δ = 0.04. Due to the self-doping effect, the system exhibits a magnetic transition from a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic-like canted magnetic state (CMS) at ~120 K, which is associated with an appreciably large magnetocaloric effect (MCE).
