Spontaneous polarization and eoereivity of sodium and lithium vanadates were found to be remarkably dependent on the solid solutions formed between the respective vanadates and Fe203. The decreasing trend in Ps and the depression of Tc observed for increasing concentrations of the offvalent impurity were attributable to the formation of defective grain boundary layers of low electric polarization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
