Weak ferromagnetism has been widely found in antiferromagnetic systems, including the technically important orthorhombic perovskites RFeO3 (R=rareearth) owing to spin canting associated with crystal symmetry. Antisymmetric exchange interaction (AEI) and single-ion anisotropy (SIA) are the essential mechanisms responsible for the development of noncollinear structures in antiferromagnetic systems. AEI and SIA share the same structural restriction to facilitate the spin canting. While both AEI and SIA originate from the spin-orbit coupling effect, they have sharply different dependences on the local structure. Consideration of the structural dependence of a canted spin motivates us to revisit the orthoferrite family. The spin canting along the c axis measured on precisely oriented crystals increases monotonically from LaFeO3 to LuFeO3. Based on Moriya's model, AEI is sensitive to the octahedral-site distortion in the perovskite structure. However, the site distortion does not exhibit a monotonic change with the rare-earth substitution. Instead, a linear relationship has been found in both the octahedral rotation and the spin canting angle versus the rare-earth ionic radius, which indicates that SIA plays a significant role leading the spin canting in orthoferrites.

Owing to their structural complexity and wide range of possible chemical combinations, perovskite oxides exhibit many technically important physical properties. Pressure is a thermodynamic parameter which is useful for tuning physical properties; however, the response of the complex crystal structure to high pressure has not been thoroughly studied and rationalized. This study focuses on in situ high-pressure x-ray diffraction of the orthorhombic perovskite oxides A3+B3+O3, commonly found for the rare-earth transition-metal oxides of the RMO3 formula. Each of the four families of RMO3 (M=Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe) perovskites in this study all crystallize in the same orthorhombic perovskite structure with the Pbnm space group. The lanthanide contraction in these materials leads to varying degrees of orthorhombic distortions that are primarily associated with octahedral site rotations. The pressure-induced change of the lattice parameters demonstrates an evolution from a suppression to an enlargement of the orthorhombic distortion for substitution of the rare-earth element from R=La to Lu in RMO3 perovskites. This unusual crossover of the lattice parameters’ dependence on pressure contradict the results from first-principles calculation but can be rationalized by the intrinsic distortion of the perovskite structure.

The detection of islanding events in a microgrid is a problematic issue. In this paper, four angle variations of superimposed sequence components are derived, and a new technique is proposed using the highest aggregate votes. Space vector transform is applied to decompose positive sequences and negative sequences from power signals. From the pre-state and post-state information, mathematical relationships of superimposed components are generated, and angle variation in between the superimposed component and pre-event component of each sequence is computed. This technique identifies the islanding state, even under perfectly power match conditions without the threshold setting, and hence overcomes the non-detection zone (NDZ) problem. Also, the non-islanding states such as the variable fault resistance, single-pole tripping, recloser operation, non-linear loads, and reconnection of the DEU are addressed. The proposed technique is verified using the thirteen bus microgrid simulation model in a real-time digital environment. The proposed technique is found to be fast and accurate on the change in source capacity, location, and type of DEU.
