Helical scattering signatures of strain and electronic textures in YbFe2O4 from three-dimensional reciprocal space imaging
- Abstract:
-
The insulating ternary oxide YbFe$_2$O$_4$ displays an unusual frustration-driven incommensurate charge-ordering (CO) transition, linked to possible ferroelectricity. Based on high-resolution synchrotron data, we report a detailed structural model showing that the CO phase is an incommensurate charge-density wave and cannot be ferroelectric, since the electrical dipole moments are also incommensurately modulated. The change between continuous and "spotty" helices of scattering at the CO trans...
