Abstract
We synthesized Pr2NiMnO6, Gd2NiMnO6, and Er2NiMnO6 double perovskites in a nano-ceramic form by a sol-gel method. By means of room-temperature X-ray powder diffraction measurements, we determined the crystal structure of the three compounds, which is monoclinic, corresponding to a double perovskite structure, described by space group P21/n structure. From the determined structures, the bulk moduli were estimated to be 173-179 GPa. The average size particle of nanoparticles was determined from X-ray diffraction by the Langford method plot and by the Scherrer formula. The morphology and homogeneity of nanoparticles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. We found that they form compact agglomerations of approximately 200 nm in diameter. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements were performed, determining the absorption spectrum. The assignment of the measured infrared absorption bands is discussed.

Abstract
Half-metallic ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic (FiM) materials are a matter of enormous interest due to their potential technological applications in solid-state electronic devices. In this way, strain plays an important role to tune or control the physical properties of the systems; therefore, the influence of both biaxial ([110]) and hydrostatic ([111]) strain on the electronic and magnetic properties of recently synthesized double perovskite oxide Lu2NiIrO6 is investigated using density-functional theory calculations. The unstrained system exhibits a FiM Mott-insulating (i.e., having an energy gap of 0.20 eV) ground state due to strong antiferromagnetic superexchange coupling between high-energy half-filled Ni2+-e2g↑ and low-energy partially filled Ir4+ t32g↑t22g↓ orbitals. Interestingly, a half-metallic FiM state is predicted under biaxial and hydrostatic compressive strains of -8% and -6%, respectively. The admixture of Ir 5d orbitals in the spin-majority channel is mainly responsible for the conductivity with small contributions from Ni 3d orbitals. In contrast, all the tensile strain systems show almost the same electronic behavior (Mott-insulating FiM states) as found in the case of the unstrained system. The magnetic moments of the Ni (Ir) ion slightly decrease and increase as a function of compressive and tensile strains due to shortening and lengthening of the Ni-O(Ir-O) bond lengths, respectively. Moreover, our calculations show that compressive strain enhances the structural distortions, which could help to increase the Curie temperature of the system.

Abstract
Perovskite rare-earth cobaltites ACoO3 (A = Sc, Y, La-Lu) have been of enduring interest for decades due to their unusual structural and physical properties associated with the spin-state transitions of low-spin Co3+ ions. Herein, we have synthesized a non-rare-earth perovskite cobaltite, InCoO3, at 15 GPa and 1400 °C and investigated its crystal structure and magnetic ground state. Under the same high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, we also prepared a perovskite-type ScCoO3 with an improved cation stoichiometry in comparison to that in a previous study, where synthesis at 6 GPa and 1297 °C yielded a perovskite cobaltite with cation mixing on the A-site, (Sc0.95Co0.05)CoO3. The two perovskite phases have nearly stoichiometric cation compositions, crystallizing in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. In the present investigation, comprehensive studies on newly developed and well-known Pnma ACoO3 perovskites (A = In, Sc, Y, Pr-Lu) show that InCoO3 does not fulfill the general evolution of crystal metrics with A-site cation size, indicating that InCoO3 and rare-earth counterparts have different chemistry for stabilizing the Pnma structures. Detailed structural analyses combined with first-principles calculations reveal that the origin of the anomaly for InCoO3 is ascribed to the A-site cation displacements that accompany octahedral tilts; despite the highly tilted CoO6 network, the In-O covalency makes In3+ ions reluctant to move from their ideal cubic-symmetry position, leading to less orthorhombic distortion than would be expected from electrostatic/ionic size mismatch effects. Magnetic studies demonstrate that InCoO3 and ScCoO3 are diamagnetic with a low-spin state of Co3+ below 300 K, in contrast to the case of (Sc0.95Co0.05)CoO3, where the high-spin Co3+ ions on the A-site generate a large paramagnetic moment. The present work extends the accessible composition range of the low-spin orthocobaltite series and thus should help to establish a more comprehensive understanding of the structure-property relation.

Abstract
TlMO(3) perovskites (M(3+) = transition metals) are exceptional members of trivalent perovskite families because of the strong covalency of Tl(3+)-O bonds. Here we report on the synthesis, crystal structure and properties of TlCrO(3) investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy, specific heat, dc/ac magnetization and dielectric measurements. TlCrO(3) perovskite is prepared under high pressure (6 GPa) and high temperature (1500 K) conditions. The crystal structure of TlCrO(3) is refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data: space group Pnma (no. 62), Z = 4 and lattice parameters a = 5.40318(1) Å, b = 7.64699(1) Å and c = 5.30196(1) Å at 293 K. No structural phase transitions are found between 5 and 300 K. TlCrO(3) crystallizes in the GdFeO(3)-type structure similar to other members of the perovskite chromite family, ACrO(3) (A(3+) = Sc, In, Y and La-Lu). The unit cell volume and Cr-O-Cr bond angles of TlCrO(3) are close to those of DyCrO(3); however, the Néel temperature of TlCrO(3) (TN≈ 89 K) is much smaller than that of DyCrO(3) and close to that of InCrO(3). Isothermal magnetization studies show that TlCrO(3) is a fully compensated antiferromagnet similar to ScCrO(3) and InCrO(3), but different from RCrO(3) (R(3+) = Y and La-Lu). Ac and dc magnetization measurements with a fine step of 0.2 K reveal the existence of two Néel temperatures with very close values at T(N2) = 87.0 K and T(N1) = 89.3 K. Magnetic anomalies near T(N2 )are suppressed by static magnetic fields and by 5% iron doping.

Abstract
The community of material scientists is strongly committed to the research area of multiferroic materials, both for the understanding of the complex mechanisms supporting the multiferroism and for the fabrication of new compounds, potentially suitable for technological applications. The use of high pressure is a powerful tool in synthesizing new multiferroic, in particular magneto-electric phases, where the pressure stabilization of otherwise unstable perovskite-based structural distortions may lead to promising novel metastable compounds. The in situ investigation of the high-pressure behavior of multiferroic materials has provided insight into the complex interplay between magnetic and electronic properties and the coupling to structural instabilities.

Abstract
ABO3 perovskites with small cations at the A site (A = Sc(3+), In(3+) and Mn(2+) and B = Al(3+) and transition metals) are reviewed. They extend the corresponding families of perovskites with A(3+) = Y, La-Lu, and Bi and A(2+) = Cd, Ca, Sr and Ba and exhibit the largest structural distortions. As a result of these large distortions, they show, in many cases, distinct structural and magnetic properties. These are manifested in: B-site-ordered monoclinic structures of ScMnO3 and 'InMnO3'; an unusual superstructure of ScRhO3 and InRhO3; antiferromagnetic ground states and multiferroic properties of Sc2NiMnO6 and In2NiMnO6; two magnetic transitions in ScCrO3 and InCrO3 with very close transition temperatures; a Pnma-to-P-1 structural transition and k = (½, 0, ½) magnetic ordering in ScVO3; and incommensurate magnetic ordering of Mn(2+) spins in metallic MnVO3. A large number of simple ScBO3, InBO3 and MnBO3 perovskites has not been synthesized yet, and the number of experimental and theoretical works on each known ScBO3, InBO3 and MnBO3 perovskites counts to only one or two (except for ScAlO3). The synthesis, crystal chemistry and physics of perovskites with small cations at the A site is an emerging field in perovskite science.
