This work reviews the experimental studies on photo-induced cooperative phenomena
(photo-induced phase transitions, PIPT), which are related to ultrafast structural and …

Simple Bi-based compounds, BiMO3, are quite interesting materials. They offer large
variations in crystal symmetries, polarity, and properties. Their chemical simplicity makes …

The ability to determine the electronic structure of catalysts during electrochemical reactions
is highly important for identification of the active sites and the reaction mechanism. Here we …

The unusual property of negative thermal expansion is of fundamental interest and may be
used to fabricate composites with zero or other controlled thermal expansion values. Here …

A large-size single crystal of nearly stoichiometric SrCoO 3 was prepared with a two-step
method combining the floating-zone technique and subsequent high oxygen pressure …

Developing efficient electrocatalyst at large current densities to meet the requirement of
industrial water splitting is a big challenge today. Herein, we report a class of catalyst, BiCoO …

In computational material design, ionic radius is one of the most important physical
parameters used to predict material properties. Motivated by the progress in computational …

The complex metal oxide SrCo0. 5Ru0. 5O3-δ possesses a slightly distorted perovskite
crystal structure. Its insulating nature infers a well-defined charge distribution, and the six …

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) is the most widely studied multiferroic material with robust
ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetic ordering at room temperature. One of the possible …

Colossal negative thermal expansion (NTE) with a volume contraction of about 8%, the
largest value reported so far for NTE materials, was observed in an electron‐doped giant …
