Experimental verification of the ab initio phase transition sequence in SrZrO3 and comparisons with SrHfO3 and SrSnO 3

Dielectrics: into a new phase An unexpected atomic arrangement in a material useful for electronics is identified by researchers in India, the UK, and the USA. Ashok Kumar from the CSIR-National Physical Laboratory and co-workers observe a phase change in strontium zirconate at 650 K. Strontium zirc...
