Low Temperature Structural of ScMnO$_{3}$

We present the temperature dependent structural changes of hexagonal ScMnO$_{3}$ probed on multiple length scales. These measurements are compared by IR results. These results are used to assess the structural changes across the N\'{e}el temperature which may coincide and couple with the ferroelectric behavior.
