We explored the orbital structure of FeTiO3 with polarization-dependent x-ray absorption spectra complemented with electronic structure calculations. The electronic structure, near the bottom of conduction band, is composed of O 2p and Ti 3d orbitals. Ti 3d/4p hybridization dominantly lies on the ab plane. The highly delocalized Ti 4p orbital might hybridize with O 2p orbital and even extend to the next-neighbor Fe atom whereby establishing a linear orbital combination of Ti-O-Fe. A clear picture of the orbital construction in FeTiO3 will help to elucidate the paths of pressure-induced charge transfer and other physical or magnetic characteristics.

The layered perovskite compound Sr2-xGdxCoO 4 has not yet been subjected to detailed study so far. In this report, structures, transport, magnetic properties, and first principle calculations will be reported for the two dimensional compounds Sr 2-xGdxCoO4 (x 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25). Rietveld refinement revealed that these compounds are crystallized in K2NiF 4-type structures with space group I4/mmm. It was found that the lattice parameter c decreases as x increases. Through the Curies Weiss fitting of the temperature dependent magnetization, it was found that the Sr 1.25Gd0.75CoO4 sample exhibits a weak ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition at about 62 K, with …

Noncentrosymmetric praseodymium calcium oxyborate single crystals, PrCa4O(BO3)3 (PrCOB), were grown by the Czochralski technique. The monoclinic unit cell parameters were found to be a = 8.177 Å, b = 16.157 Å, c = 3.629 Å and Z = 2 with space group Cm. Crystal density was measured using the Archimedes method, being on the order of 3.47 g cm-3. Thermal properties of PrCOB were investigated, where the specific heat was found to be 0.63 J g-1 °C-1 at room temperature, increasing to 0.85 J g-1°C-1 at 700°C. The thermal expansion coefficients were measured to be α11 = 7.99, α22 = …
