Co-operative and frustration effects in novel perovskite-related phases

We report on magnetic and electronic properties of various perovskite-type oxides containing 4d- and 5d-transition metals. The compounds under investigation crystallize in (distorted) cubic, layered, and hexagonal perovskite-related structures. These changes in structural dimensionality are reflected by different ordering phenomena. (Pseudo-) cubic perovskites AC
