These parameters are found to qualitatively differ from those of initial RMn$_2$O$_5$ (R = Er, Tb) crystals studied before. It is shown that the properties of the polar phase separation domains that form in a subsystem of Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions due to a finite probability of tunneling electrons between these ions with different valences are substantially dependent on the values of crystal fields in which these domains exist. A combined influence of Er$_3^+$, Tb$_3^+$, and Ce$_{3.75}^+$ ions is found to substantially change the crystal field in R$_{0.8}$Ce$_{0.2}$ Mn$_2$O$_5$ (R = Er, Tb) as compared to RMn$_2$O$_5$ (R = Er, Tb).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-15T11:03:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "electric polarization", "solid solutions", "exchange-striction ferroelectric ordering", "local polar phase separation domains" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
