EuTiO$_3$: a possible multiferroic material, structural, magnetic and dynamical characterization
POSTER
Abstract
Structural analogies between SrTiO$_{3}$ and EuTiO$_{3}$ suggest that other similarities exist, namely an oxygen octahedral rotational instability. This has been tested experimentally as well as theoretically by specific heat measurements [1], X-ray powder diffraction [2], EPR and $\mu $SR experiments [3], within the polarizability model and by ab initio calculations [4,5]. Earlier evidence for strong spin phonon coupling in EuTiO$_{3}$ [6] has been further explored for the high temperature instability at T$_{S}$ and is reflected in the magnetic field dependence of T$_{S}$ [7].\\[4pt] [1] A.
