Perovskites: Modern and Ancient

TL;DR: More efficient transportation, structural energy storage systems, active sensing, and self-diagnosis are examples where disruptive materials are necessary for driving technological innovation for wireless sensor networks as discussed by the authors, which is the case in this paper.

TL;DR: Density functional theory is shown to be a valuable tool that should be used routinely in thermochemical studies of inorganic compounds and correlate with the difference in acidity between the binary constituent oxides.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of all cation and/or anion vacancies on the magnetic structure of the anti-perovskite Ca3BiP was examined using a fullpotential linearized-augmented plane-wave calculation within the generalized gradient approximation (PBE-GGA) and a modified version proposed by Becke and Johnson (TB-mBJ) for the exchange-correlation potential.

TL;DR: In this article, high-pressure X-ray diffraction measurements have demonstrated that the cation-deficient perovskites Pr1/3NbO3, Pr 1/3TaO3 and Nd1/2TaOO3 undergo irreversible pressure-induced amorphization (PIA).
