Crystal Distortion in Ferrite-Manganites
Abstract
The origin of the distortion of spinels from cubic to tetragonal symmetry is examined in the case of copper ferrites and a series of manganite-ferrite systems. The degree of distortion is found to depend on the temperature and the net fraction of cations forming appropriately orientated dsp2 bonds in octahedral sites. Expressions derived agree satisfactorily with the experimental data.
