Evolution of topological defects at two sequential phase transitions of Nd_{2}SrFe_{2}O_{7}
How topological defects, unavoidable at symmetry-breaking phase transitions in a wide range of systems, evolve through consecutive phase transitions with different broken symmetries remains unexplored. Nd_{2}SrFe_{2}O_{7}, a bilayer ferrite, exhibits two intriguing structural phase transitions and d...
