The influence of the 6s2 configuration of Bi3+ on the structures of A′BiNb2O7 (A′ = Rb, Na, Li) layered perovskite oxides

<p>Solid state compounds which exhibit non-centrosymmetric crystal structures are of great interest due to the physical properties they can exhibit. The &lsquo;hybrid improper&rsquo; mechanism &ndash; in which two non-polar distortion modes couple to, and stabilize, a further polar...
