Multiferroic Bi 1-x Sm x FeO 3(x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. X-ray diffraction measurement was carried out to characterize the crystal structure and to detect the impurities existing in these ceramics. The substitution of rare earth Sm for Bi was found to decrease the impurity phase in BiFeO 3 ceramics. There is strong evidence that both lattice constants a and c of the unit cell become smaller as the Sm 3+ content is increased. The effect of introducing Sm 3+ is shown to decrease the optical band gap for doped sample Bi 1-x Sm x FeO 3. Additionally, the temperature-dependent Raman measurement performed for the lattice dynamics study of Bi 1-x Sm x FeO 3 samples reveals a strong band centered at around 1000–1300 cm-1 which is associated with the resonant enhancement of two-phonon Raman scattering in the multiferroic Bi 1-x Sm x FeO 3 samples. This two-phonon signal is shown to broaden with increasing x. The Raman spectra at low wavenumbers are suggested to be related with magnon in this system.

<p>Driven by the increasing attention that the superionic conductors Li<sub>3</sub>MX<sub>6</sub> (M = Y, Er, In, La; X = Cl, Br, I) have gained recently for the use of solid-state batteries, and the idea that a softer, more polarizable anion sublattice is beneficial for ionic transport, here we report Li<sub>3</sub>ErI<sub>6</sub>, the first experimentally-obtained iodine-based compound within this material system of ionic conductors. Using a combination of synchrotron and neutron diffraction, we elucidate the structure, the lithium positions and possible diffusion pathways of Li<sub>3</sub>ErI<sub>6</sub>. Temperature-dependent impedance spectroscopy shows low activation energies of 0.37 and 0.38 eV alongside promising ionic conductivities of 0.65 mS·cm<sup>-1</sup> and 0.39 mS·cm<sup>-1</sup>directly after ball milling and the subsequently annealed Li<sub>3</sub>ErI<sub>6</sub>, respectively. Speed of sound measurements are used to determine the Debye frequency of the lattice as a descriptor of the lattice dynamics and overall lattice softness, and Li<sub>3</sub>ErI<sub>6</sub> is compared to the known material Li<sub>3</sub>ErCl<sub>6</sub>. The softer, more polarizable framework from the iodide anion leads to improved ionic transport, showing that the idea of softer lattices holds up in this class of materials. This work provides Li<sub>3</sub>ErI<sub>6</sub> as an interesting novel framework for optimization in the class of halide-based ionic conductors.</p>

The local structure and lattice dynamics in cubic Y2O3were studied at the YK-edge by X-ray absorption spectroscopy in the temperature range from 300 to 1273 K. The temperature dependence of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure was successfully interpreted using classical molecular dynamics and a novel reverse Monte Carlo method, coupled with the evolutionary algorithm. The obtained results allowed the temperature dependence of the yttria atomic structure to be followed up to ∼6 Å and to validate two force-field models.
