Crystal clear: Understanding magnetism changes caused by crystal lattice expansion

An international team has demonstrated helimagnetic behavior in a cubic perovskite material by expanding the lattice through barium doping. The experimental findings were well supported by calculations from first principles, showing that the materials were highly sensitive to the lattice constant. It is hoped that the findings will form the foundation for new applications in sensing.
