X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism have long served as indispensable tools for probing the electronic and magnetic properties of transition-metal compounds with elemental selectivity. In recent years, the…

A correlation is established between the macro-scale friction regimes of metals and a transition between two dominant atomistic mechanisms of deformation. Metals tend to exhibit bi-stable friction behavior -- low and converging or high and…

High pressure can provoke spin transitions in transition metal-bearing compounds. These transitions are of high interest not only for fundamental physics and chemistry, but also may have important implications for geochemistry and…

We have investigated heteroepitaxial films of Sm-doped BiFeO3 with a Sm-concentration near a morphotropic phase boundary. Our high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction, carried out in a temperature range of 25C to 700C, reveals…

In this study, I have investigated the magnetic and critical properties of manganese pyrochlore fluoride NaSrMn$_{2}$F$_{7}$, which exhibits a glass transition at T$_\text{f}$$=$2.5 (K) due to charge disorder. A DFT+$U$+SOC framework is…

Effect of an internal chemical pressure on structural, optical, magnetic and electrical properties in Bi0.9RE0.1FeO3 Ceramics (RE =Gd3+,Tb3+,Dy3+)has been studied extensively. Some of the highlights are as follows; 1. Coexistence of…

We performed a systematic study of soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy in various manganese oxides and fluorides. Both Mn L-edges and ligand (O and F) K-edges are presented and compared with each other. Despite the distinct crystal structure…

Determining the oxidation states of metals assumes great importance in various applications because a variation in the oxidation number can drastically influence the material properties. As an example, this becomes evident in edible liquids…

In the presented research, the intergranular elastic interaction and the second-order plastic incompatibility stress in textured ferritic and austenitic steels were investigated by means of diffraction. The lattice strains were measured…

The prototypical $\alpha\to\omega$ phase transition in zirconium is an ideal test-bed for our understanding of polymorphism under extreme loading conditions. After half a century of study, a consensus had emerged that the transition is…

Molecular arrangement in the chiral smectic phases of the glassforming (S)-4'-(1-methylheptylcarbonyl)biphenyl-4-yl 4-[7-(2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutoxy) heptyl-1-oxy]benzoate is investigated by X-ray diffraction. An increased correlation…

The transition metal based oxide YBaCo3FeO7 is structurally related to the mineral Swedenborgite SbNaBe4O7, a polar non-centrosymmetric crystal system. The magnetic Co3Fe sublattice consists of a tetrahedral network containing kagome-like…

Single crystal neutron and high-energy x-ray diffraction have identified the phase lines corresponding to transitions between the ambient-pressure tetragonal (T), the antiferromagnetic orthorhombic (O) and the non-magnetic collapsed…

We report on a 59Co NMR investigation of the trigonal cobaltate Ca3Co2O6 carried out on a single crystal, providing precise determinations of the electric field gradient and chemical shift tensors, and of the internal magnetic fields at the…

The properties of polycrystalline wurtzite Zn_{1-x}Mg_{x}O (0 <= x <= 0.15) have been studied, by powder X-ray diffraction, including an analysis of the X-ray line-broadening, and by luminescence, absorption, and Raman spectroscopies. We…

We report complex dielectric and Raman spectroscopy measurements in four samples of $\alpha$- Fe$_2$O$_3$, consisting of crystallites which are either hexagonal shaped plates or cuboids. All four samples exhibit the spin reorientation…

Hexagonal manganites are multiferroic materials with two highly-dissimilar phase transitions: a ferroelectric transition (from P63/mmc to P63cm) at a temperature higher than 1000 K and an antiferromagnetic transition at TN=65 - 130 K.…

We report on the study of unusual spin glass properties in the geometrically frustrated pyrochlore Tb$_{2}$Mo$_{2}$O$_{7}$, $T$$_{g}$$\simeq$24 K. The analysis of the nonlinear part of dc and complex susceptibilities, near the glass…

We present a generalized method to describe the x-ray scattering intensity of the Bragg spots in a diffraction pattern from nanocrystals exposed to intense x-ray pulses. Our method involves the subdivision of a crystal into smaller units.…

We present experimental observations of dilute ion spin ensemble defects in a low-loss single crystal cylindrical sample of CaWO$_4$ cooled to $30$ mK in temperature. Crystal field perturbations were elucidated by constructing a…
