Cu-doped polycrystalline oxide

Domain-wall freezing peak

Cu-doped La0.6Sr0.4FeO3 polycrystalline materials exhibit an anomalous internal friction peak correlated with magnetic anomalies, revealing a novel domain-wall freezing mechanism and offering a new route to tune mechanical and magnetic properties.
