Rare Earth Niobates, RENbO4: How Does the RE3+ Size Impact Structural Evolution and Thermophysical Behavior?
Rare earth niobates (RENbO4) are structurally fascinating utilitarian compounds for high temperature applications. The pursuit of understanding the implications of RE3+‐ionic size on its wide‐ranging properties motivated the synthesis and investigation of RENbO4 (RE: La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, and Y) by diffraction, spectrosc...
