Temperature Dependence of Electrical Properties and Crystal Structure of 0.29Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3–0.44Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.27PbTiO3 Single Crystals by Qian Li, Yun Liu, Andrew Studer, Zhenrong Li, Ray Withers, Zhuo Xu

“…We characterized the temperature dependent (~25–200°C) electromechanical properties and crystal structure of Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 single crystals using in situ electrical measurement and neutron diffraction techniques. The results show that the poled crystal experiences an addition phase transition around 120°C whereas such a transition is absent in the unpoled crystal. …”

Towards improved accuracy of Hirshfeld atom refinement with an alternative electron density partition by Michał Chodkiewicz, Krzysztof Woźniak

“…Applying expHAR improved the hydrogen atom parameters in the majority of the structures (compared with HAR), especially in cases with the highest deviations from the reference neutron values. X—H bond lengths and hydrogen ADPs improved for 9/10 of the structures for B3LYP-based refinement and 8/9 for MP2-based refinement when the ADPs were compared with a newly introduced scale-independent similarity measure.…”
