EDITORS' SUGGESTION

RAPID COMMUNICATION

Origin of electronic dimers in the spin-density wave phase of Fe-based superconductors

Maria N. Gastiasoro, P. J. Hirschfeld, and Brian M. Andersen

Phys. Rev. B 89, 100502(R) (2014) - Published 7 March, 2014

This is the first microscopic theory of impurity-induced local spin nematic order in iron-based superconductors that explains the experimentally observed transport anisotropy in their spin-density-wave phase.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Non-180° polarization rotation of ferroelectric ( ${Bi}_{0.5}$ ${Na}_{0.5}$ ) ${TiO}_{3}$ single crystals under electric field

Yuuki Kitanaka, Ken Yanai, Yuji Noguchi, Masaru Miyayama, Yutaka Kagawa, Chikako Moriyoshi, and Yoshihiro Kuroiwa

Phys. Rev. B 89, 104104 (2014) - Published 10 March, 2014

The authors study polarization-switching dynamics in (Bi1/2Na1/2)TiO3 (BNT), a leading Pb-free ferroelectric material. In situ high-energy synchrotron x-ray diffraction shows that switching occurs via non-180° intermediate domain states, and a model to describe the polarization reversal is proposed.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Geometric ferroelectricity in fluoroperovskites

A. C. Garcia-Castro, Nicola A. Spaldin, A. H. Romero, and E. Bousquet

Phys. Rev. B 89, 104107 (2014) - Published 21 March, 2014

The authors analyze the unusual origin of the ferroelectric instability in ABF3 fluoroperovskites using first-principles calculations, and predict that a member of this family, NaMnF3, will become multiferroic under biaxial epitaxial strain.
