In this article we present a neutron diffraction in-situ study of the thermal evolution and high-temperature structure of layered cobaltites Y(Ba, Sr)Co2 O5+{\delta}. Neutron thermodiffractograms and magnetic susceptibility measurements are…
Structural, vibrational and dielectric properties of (Pb1-xBix)(Ti1-xMnx)O3 (PBTM) (0 x 0.50) polycrystalline ceramics have been examined as a function of temperature. Synchrotron-based powder x-ray diffraction was employed to confirm phase…
BaTiO3 is a model ferroelectric perovskite whose properties are highly sensitive to local structure, defect chemistry, and dopant distribution. However, conventional diffraction mainly probes the average lattice and can miss subtle changes…
We report a comprehensive temperature-dependent investigation of the 1:2 ordered triple perovskite system Sr$_3$CaRu$_2$O$_9$. It crystallizes in the monoclinic structure with space group $P21/c$, consisting of corner-sharing CaO$_6$ and…
A comprehensive study of the structural properties of the heavily investigated rare-earth A2Ir2O7 series under extreme conditions is presented. The series is covered by studying iridates with A = Pr, Sm, Dy-Lu. Temperature- and…
Halide double perovskites (HDPs) have emerged as promising alternatives to their lead-based counterparts. However, their structural dynamics is less explored than that of conventional halide perovskites. In this work, we investigate…
The effects of high pressure on the crystal structure of orthorhombic (Pnma) perovskite type cerium scandate have been studied in situ under high pressure by means of synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction, using a diamond anvil cell. We have…
We investigate bulk superconductivity in a high-quality single crystal of Bi$_2$Pd ($\beta$-Bi$_2$Pd, space group; I4/mmm) at temperatures less than 5.4 K by exploring its electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat.…
Structural phase transitions in Pr$_{1-x}$La$_x$AlO$_3$ (0 $\leq x\leq$ 1) single crystals have been studied through heat capacity and high-resolution x-ray scattering measurements. For PrAlO$_3$, the heat capacity shows a sharp first-order…
Single crystals of a new twinned hexagonal perovskite compound Sr8Os6.3O24 have been synthesized, and structural and magnetic properties have been determined. The compound crystallizes in a hexagonal cell with lattice parameters a =…

A new perovskite KOsO3 has been stabilized under high-pressure and high temperature conditions. It is cubic at 500 K (Pm-3m) and undergoes subsequent phase transitions to tetragonal at 320 K (P4/mmm) and rhombohedral (R-3m) at 230 K as…
We report the structural parameters of superconducting MgCxNi3 (x=0.96, TC=7.3 K) as a function of temperature, from 2 K to 295 K, determined by neutron powder diffraction profile refinement. The compound has the perovskite structure over…

Determining the 3-dimensional crystallography of a material with sub-nanometre resolution is essential to understanding strain effects in epitaxial thin films. A new scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging technique is…
X-ray diffraction studies on a Pb(Zn$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_3$ (PZN) single crystal sample show the presence of two different structures. An outer-layer exists in the outer most $\sim$ 10 to 50~$\mu$m of the crystal, and undergoes a…
Plate-like single crystals of SrFe2As2 as large as 3x3x0.5 mm3 have been grown out of Sn flux. The SrFe2As2 single crystals show a structural phase transition from a high temperature tetragonal phase to a low temperature orthorhombic phase…
