Tricritical Behavior in KMnF3

Abstract
The cubic-to-tetragonal structural phase transition of KMnF3 has been investigated by measurement of the phase diagrams with uniaxial pressure along [110] and [100]. Results indicate the existence of a tricritical point near p=0.45 kbar with p along [110], and two new consecutive tricritical points near p=0.25 kbar with p along [100].
