We report a detailed neutron scattering study of the ordering of spins and holes in oxygen-doped La(2)NiO(4.133). The single-crystal sample exhibits the same oxygen-interstitial order but better defined charge-stripe order than that studied…

The issues related to the structure refinement of Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT) solid solutions are discussed. Particular attention is paid on the modelling of the co-existing phases in the vicinity of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), where…

Parity-violating polarized electron scattering from nucleons and nuclei provides an excellent tool to extract valuable information on nuclear and nucleon structure, as well as to determine Standard Model couplings and higher-order radiative…

We present an interpretation of zero field diffuse neutron scattering and of high field magnetisation data at very low temperature in the frustrated pyrochlore system Tb2Ti2O7. This material has antiferromagnetic exchange interactions and…

The evolution of the atomic structures of the combinatorial library of Sm-substituted thin film BiFeO3 along the phase transition boundary from the ferroelectric rhombohedral phase to the non-ferroelectric orthorhombic phase is explored…

Tb2Ti2O7, a pyrochlore system, has garnered significant interest due to its intriguing structural and physical properties and their dependence on external physical parameters. In this study, utilizing high-brilliance synchrotron X-ray…

The complex perovskite Ba2CoTeO6 (BCTO) has been synthesised, and the crystal structure and magnetic properties have been investigated using a combination of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction, electron microscopy and dielectric,…

The neutron distributions of Cs, Ba, Yb and Pb isotopes are described in the framework of relativistic mean-field theory. The self-consistent ground state proton and neutron density distributions are calculated with the relativistic…

The A-site ordered chromate spinels LiGa1-xInxCr4O8 host a network of size-alternating spin-3/2 Cr3+ tetrahedra known as a 'breathing' pyrochlore lattice. For the x=0.05 composition, the complex magneto-structural ordering observed in the…

The local environment and the charge state of a nickel impurity in cubic Ba$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$TiO$_3$ are studied by XAFS spectroscopy. According to the XANES data, the mean Ni charge state is $\sim$2.5+. An analysis of the EXAFS spectra and…

We describe the existence of local distortion discovered in the synchrotron x-ray single-crystal structure analysis of layered ditelluride 1T-MTe2 (M = V, Nb, Ta). In 1T-TaTe2, the double zigzag chain structure of Ta is deformed at about…

Perovskites with Bi or Pb on the A-site host a number of interesting and yet to be understood phenomena such as negative thermal expansion in BiNiO$_3$. We employ hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy of Ni 2$p$ core-level as well as…

Systematic local structural studies of Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ system are undertaken at room temperature using atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. The local structure of the Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_2$As$_2$ is found to be well…

Ionic-pair equal-time displacement correlations in relaxor lead magnesium niobate, $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_{3}$, have been investigated at room temperature in terms of an x-ray diffuse scattering technique. Functions of the distinct…

The properties of sputtered and scattered ions are studied for ion beam sputtering of Si by bombardment with noble gas ions. The energy distributions in dependence on ion beam parameters (ion energy: 0.5 - 1 keV; ion species: Ne, Ar, Xe)…

We investigate the mean-field scattering dynamics of a quasi-one-dimensional Bose--Einstein condensate interacting with a Rosen--Morse potential. For specific potential and nonlinearity parameters, we derive analytically exact, degenerate…

Of all nuclear physics experiments none are more fundamental than ``elastic'' $p,p$ and, secondarily, $p,d$ or $d,d$ scattering. Recognizing that these particles are themselves composite, ``elastic'' scattering may be accompanied by…

We address the concomitant metal-insulator transition (MIT) and antiferromagnetic ordering in the novel pyrochlore iridate Eu2Ir2O7 by combining x-ray absorption spectroscopy, x-ray and neutron diffractions and density functional theory…

To understand how dislocations form ordered structures during the deformation of metals, we perform computer simulation studies of the dynamics and patterning of screw dislocations in two dimensions. The simulation is carried out using an…
