Recently, quadrupole helix chirality and its domain structure was observed in resonant x-ray diffraction experiments on DyFe$_3$(BO$_3$)$_4$ using circularly polarized x rays [T. Usui et al., Nature Materials 13, 611 (2014)]. We show that…
Soft x-ray resonant scattering has been used to examine the charge and magnetic interactions in the cycloidal antiferromagnetic compound \dyfeal. By tuning to the Dy $M_4$ and $M_5$ absorption edges and the Fe L(2) and L(3) absorption edges…
Resonant soft x-ray Bragg diffraction at the Dy M4,5 edges has been exploited to study Dy multipole motifs in DyB2C2. Our results are explained introducing the intra-atomic quadrupolar interaction between the core 3d and valence 4f shell.…
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…
Resonant soft x-ray Bragg diffraction at the Dy M$_{4,5}$ edges has been used to study Dy multipoles in the combined magnetic and orbitally ordered phase of DyB$_2$C$_2$. The analysis incorporates both the intra-atomic magnetic and…
A thorough tensor analysis of the Bragg-forbidden reflection (00.3)$_h$ in corundum systems having a global center of inversion, like V$_2$O$_3$ and $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$, shows that anomalous x-ray resonant diffraction can access chiral…
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$_{N}$ =…
Chiral multiferroic langasites have attracted attention due to their doubly-chiral magnetic ground state within an enantiomorphic crystal. We report on a detailed resonant soft X-ray diffraction study of the multiferroic…
'Forbidden' Bragg reflections of iron orthoborate Fe3BO6 were studied theoretically and experimentally in the vicinity of the iron K edge. Their energy spectra are explained as resulting from the interference of x-rays scattered from two…
The dependence with energy of the resonant soft x-ray Bragg diffraction intensity in DyB$_2$C$_2$ for the $(00{1/2})$ reflection at the Dy M$_{4,5}$ edges have been calculated by using an atomic multiplet hamiltonian including the effect of…
BiFeO$_3$ is a multiferroic material featuring ferroelectricity and noncollinear antiferromagnetism. Definitive and efficient control of the characteristic spin texture of BiFeO$_3$ is attractive for emerging quantum devices. In this…
Molecular hydrogen ions are of metrological relevance due to the possibility of precise theoretical evaluation of their spectrum and of external-field-induced shifts. In homonuclear molecular ions the electric dipole $E1$ transitions are…
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…
We submit that the magnetic space-group Cac (#9.41) is consistent with the established magnetic structure of BaFe2Se3, with magnetic dipole moments in a motif that uses two ladders [Caron J M et al 2011 Phys. Rev. B 84 180409(R)]. The…
The electric quadrupole coupling constant of the ground state of 37K(3/2+, 1.22 s) in a tetragonal KH2PO4 single crystal was measured to be |eqQ/h| = 2.99 +- 0.07 MHz using the beta-ray detecting nuclear quadrupole resonance technique. The…
Polarized absorption spectra and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of Nd0.5Gd0.5Fe3(BO3)4 single crystal were measured in the range of 10000 - 21000 cm-1. The absorption spectra were studied as a function of temperature in the range…
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals represent not only interesting fundamental science, but they also hold promise for storage capacitors with high power density or new information display technology having sub-millisecond switching. In…
Soft resonant x-ray Bragg diffraction (SRXD) at the Ho M$_{4,5}$ edges has been used to study Ho $4f$ multipoles in the combined magnetic and orbitally ordered phase of HoB$_2$C$_2$. A full description of the energy dependence for both…
