We construct families of finitely presented groups exhibiting new divergence behavior; we obtain divergence functions of the form rα for a dense set of exponents α∈[2,∞) and rnlog(r) for integers n≥2. The same construction also yields examples of finitely presented groups which contain Morse elements that are not contracting.
