title: Electromechanical phase transition in hexacyanometallate nanostructure (Prussian Blue).
abstract: This paper demonstrates the importance of the structural changeover in controlling the physical-chemical properties of hexacyanometalate-like materials (Prussian Blue). A meticulous in situ study of compositional variations using electroacoustic impedance techniques associated to electrogravimetric techniques in hexacyanoferrates containing K+ alkali metals reveals the existence of a nanostructural changeover coupled to a change of the magnetic properties of these electromagnetic materials. In the same way, the electroacoustic impedance techniques can be useful both in the understanding and in the in situ monitoring of the structural changeovers and the magnetic behavior of all kinds of materials.
