Arjun Pathak, assistant professor of physics, published the peer-reviewed scientific article “Enhanced B-site Cation Ordering and Improved Magnetic Properties: Role of A-site Bi Substitution in La2NiMnO6 Double Perovskites” in the Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 896, 162713 (2022), one of the best journals in interdisciplinary materials science and solid-state chemistry and physics. The article, coauthored by two Buffalo State College students—Devanshi Malaviya, computer information systems major, and Jackson Kubik, physics major—along with other collaborators, reports the fundamental physics and discusses the potential device applications of double perovskite oxides materials. The present work is a detailed analysis of the structure, valence state, magnetic properties, and critical behavior of single-phase Bi-substituted La2NiMnO6 double perovskites. Dr. Pathak is also a corresponding author of the manuscript.
