Chiral properties of the two phases - collinear motif (below Morin transition temperature, TM=250 K) and canted motif (above TM) - of magnetically ordered hematite ({\alpha}-Fe2O3) have been identified in single crystal resonant x-ray Bragg…
Compulsory Dirac multipoles in the bilayer perovskite Ca3Ru2O7 are absent in published analyses of experimental data. In a first step at correcting knowledge of the magnetic structure, we have analysed existing Bragg diffraction patterns…
Newly published diffraction data on hexagonal YMnO3 at a temperature of 10 K are shown to be consistent with a trusted expression of the magnetic symmetry, although the data alone are not definitive [M. Ramakrishnan et al., Phys. Rev.…
Symmetry informed diffraction patterns for magnetically ordered MnF2 illuminated by x-rays tuned in energy to a Mn atomic resonance depend on circular polarization in the primary beam. The change in intensity of a Bragg spot with a change…
Cerium electronic multipoles in trigonal symmetry viewed in magnetic neutron diffraction are investigated. Analytic expressions for all the magnetic multipoles, and radial integrals calculated with an established atomic code, are used to…
Magnetic axial and polar (Dirac) nickel multipoles contribute to resonant x-ray Bragg amplitudes in a symmetry informed analysis of monoclinic Li2Ni3P4O14 presented for future diffraction experiments. Magnetic long-range order below a…
We have used element specific X-ray resonant scattering to investigate the M edge resonances in a single crystal of \unpo. Earlier neutron diffraction and M\"{o}ssbauer studies had shown the presence of long-range AF order below T$_{N}$ =…
A recent experimental study of TbB4 at a low temperature using resonant x-ray Bragg diffraction implies a magnetic symmetry not found in any other rare-earth tetraboride. The evidence for this assertion is a change in the intensity of a…
A recent polarized neutron diffraction experiment on the 5d2 rhenium double perovskite Ba2YReO6 held at a low temperature uncovered weak magnetic diffraction peaks. Data analysis inferred a significantly reduced Re dipole moment, and…
Structural and magnetic transitions in a double perovskite hosting 5d1 Re ions are discussed on the basis of recently published high-resolution x-ray diffraction patterns [D. Hirai, et al., Phys. Rev. Res. 2, 022063(R) (2020)]. A reported…
Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) is a prototypical room temperature antiferromagnet whose time-reversal-odd magnetic structure has recently attracted renewed attention. While such magnetic symmetry can be characterized in terms of higher-order…
A new chiral phase of ferric ions in bismuth ferrite, the only material known to support multiferroic behaviour at room temperature, is inferred from extensive sets of data gathered by resonant x-ray Bragg diffraction. Values of all ferric…
The magnetic properties of materials hosting Eu2+(J = 7/2, 4f7) ions have attracted much attention in the science of strongly correlated electrons. In part because crystal electric field effects are impoverished for an s-state ion, as with…
Cu3Nb2O8 is an unusual multiferroic compound that undergoes a series of magnetic ordering at low temperatures. Concurrent development of electric polarization has been reported at TN1 ~25 K corresponding to a non-collinear helicoidal…
We have investigated the antiferromagnetic insulating phase of the Mott-Hubbard insulator V$_2$O$_3$ by resonant x-ray Bragg diffraction at the vanadium K-edge. Combining the information obtained from azimuthal angle scans, linear incoming…
Novel equations for the electric dipole polarizability $\alpha_{_{E1}}$ of low-lying excited states in atomic nuclei -- and the related $(-2)$ moment of the total photo-absorption cross section, $\sigma_{_{-2}}$ -- are inferred in terms of…
We have performed a resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) study near the Co K edge on a single crystal of Ca3Co2O6. In the magnetically ordered phase a new class of weak reflections appears at the magnetic propagation vector tau (1/3,1/3,1/3).…
Magnetic and dielectric properties of the hexagonal triangular lattice antiferromagnet 2H-AgFeO2 have been studied by neutron diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, pyroelectric current, and dielectric constant measurements.…
A theoretical investigation of a plausible construct for electronic structure in iridate perovskites demonstrates the existence of magnetic multipoles hitherto not identified. The strange multipoles, which are parity-even, time-odd and even…
Four crystal classes are optically active yet not chiral (non-enantiomorphic). Corresponding Bragg diffraction patterns calculated for circularly polarized (helical) x-rays tuned to an atomic resonance prove that angular anisotropy in the…
