The crystal structure of hexagonal ErMnO 3 , erbium manganese trioxide, has been determined at room temperature. It is isomorphous with YMnO 3 . Although we observed inversion twinning, similar to YMnO 3 , the twin fractions do not have a 1:1 ratio, and the crystals are expected to show net ferroelectricity.
