We resolve this problem by developing a general theory for the ferroelectric polarization induced by spin-spiral order and then by evaluating the coefficients needed to specify the general theory on the basis of density functional calculations. Our theory correctly describes the ferroelectricity of triangular-lattice antiferromagnets driven by helical spin-spiral order, and incorporates known models of magnetic-order-driven ferroelectricity as special cases.}, number={15}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS}, author={Xiang, H.

The calculations indicate that the anti-bonding d-states which determine the minimum energy gap and the conduction band offset energy with respect to Si are a local property of the transition metal–oxygen bonding and are insensitive to second neighbor alloy atoms such as Si or Al.}, number={1-4}, journal={MICROELECTRONIC ENGINEERING}, author={Lucovsky, G and Whitten, JL and Zhang, Y}, year={2001}, month={Nov}, pages={329–334} }

This compound has isolated V4O92- layers made up of edge-sharing VO5 square pyramids. The V4O92- layers of [H2N(CH2)4NH2]V4O9 ([H2N(CH2)4NH2] = piperidinium) differ from those of two other ternary vanadium oxides, CaV4O9 and A2V4O9 (A = Rb, Cs), in the way the VO5 square pyramids are shared, and the magnetic susceptibilities of the three oxides are widely different in their maximum susceptibility values and the temperatures where these values occur. To explain these observations, the electronic structures of the three oxides were analyzed based on molecular orbital calculations.}, number={4}, journal={CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS}, author={Zhang, YP and Warren, CJ and Haushalter, RC and Clearfield, A and Seo, DK and Whangbo, MH}, year={1998}, month={Apr}, pages={1059–1064} }
