TLDR
In this article, the interplay between orbital ordering, Jahn-Teller and GdFeO-type lattice distortions in perovskite-type transition-metal oxides using model Hartree-Fock calculations was studied.
Abstract
We have studied the interplay between orbital ordering, Jahn-Teller and ${\mathrm{GdFeO}}_{3}$-type lattice distortions in perovskite-type transition-metal oxides using model Hartree-Fock calculations. It has been found that the covalency between A-site cations and oxygens causes interaction between the Jahn-Teller and ${\mathrm{GdFeO}}_{3}$-type distortions. The present calculations explain why the d-type Jahn-Teller distortion and orbital ordering compatible with it are realized in ${\mathrm{LaMnO}}_{3},$ ${\mathrm{YVO}}_{3},$ and ${\mathrm{YTiO}}_{3}.$

The origin of ferroelectricity in magnetoelectric YMnO3.

TL;DR: This work identifies the nature of the ferroelectric phase transition in the hexagonal manganite, YMnO3, using a combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thorough structure analysis and first-principles density-functional calculations, and suggests an avenue for designing novel magnetic ferroelectrics.

Electronic and ionic transport properties and other physical aspects of perovskites

TL;DR: The perovskites and their related structures exhibit several features of technical as well as fundamental interest, such as oxide-ion conduction with/without electronic conduction, oxidation catalysis, ferroic displacements in classic and relaxor ferroelectrics, half-metallic ferromagnetism and high-temperature superconductivity.

Giant magneto-elastic coupling in multiferroic hexagonal manganites

TL;DR: This paper shows, using a combination of diffraction techniques, that the hexagonal manganites RMnO3 undergo an isostructural transition with exceptionally large atomic displacements: two orders of magnitude larger than those seen in any other magnetic material, resulting in an unusually strong magneto-elastic coupling.

Density Functional Studies of Multiferroic Magnetoelectrics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the transition metal d electrons essential for magnetism reduce the tendency for off-center ferroelectric distortion, and that an additional electronic or structural driving force must be present for ferromagnetism and electric polarization to occur simultaneously.
