@article{10902/26489, year = {2011}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/26489}, abstract = {Based on the earlier revealed hidden pseudo Jahn-Teller effect which essentially involves excited electronic states we show that, with extension to solids, polyatomic systems with half-filled degenerate shells, e2 or t3, form a novel (practically inexhaustible) class of molecular and solid state materials with correlated and switchable magnetic and dielectric bistabilities. The latter are confirmed by state-of-the-art ab initio calculations, including estimation of lifetimes, for several representatives of this class, which also reveal a giant magnetoelastic effect in LiCuO2 and NaCuO2 crystals}, organization = {This work was supported by Welch Foundation Grant No. F-100 and the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnologa under Project No. FIS2009-07083}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, publisher = {Physical Review Letters106, 246406 (2011)}, title = {Class of molecular and solid state systems with correlated magnetic and dielectric bistabilities induced by the pseudo jahn-teller effect}, author = {García Fernández, Pablo (físico) and Bersuker, Isaac B.}, }
