Properties and applications of orthochromates
(A) Orthochromates display some interesting properties such as quasiferroelectric, structural, magnetic, and optical, resulting from couplings between charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom.
(B) These make orthochromates potential as magnetic refrigeration, solid oxide fuel cell, negative-temperature-coefficient (NTC) thermistor, nonvolatile memory application, photovoltaic materials, catalyst, and anticorrosion field.
