Low as well as high-temperature electron and x-ray diffraction studies have been carried out on a rare-earth free B-site disordered electron-doped manganite SrMn0.875.Mo0.125O3-{\delta} in the temperature range of 83K to 637K. These studies…
To describe chemical ordering in solid solutions systems Warren-Cowley short-range parameters are ordinarily used. However, they are not directly suited for application to long-range ordered systems, as they do not converge to zero for…
It is shown that in all types of metallic magnets the coupling of the order parameter to the conduction electrons leads to an order-parameter susceptibility that is long-ranged at zero temperature. This is true for all known classes of…

We study the local violation of P and CP invariance in heavy ion collisions as observed at RHIC and LHC using a simple "deformed QCD" model. This model is a weakly coupled gauge theory, which however has all the relevant crucial elements…
We consider a classical model of charges $\pm q$ on a pyrochlore lattice in the presence of long range Coulomb interactions. This model first appeared in the early literature on charge order in magnetite. In the limit where the interactions…
