The development of short- and long-range magnetic order induced in a frustrated zig-zag ladder compound SrDy2O4 by an applied field is studied using neutron diffraction techniques. In zero field, SrDy2O4 lacks long-range magnetic order down…
We find an interpretation of the recent finding that the central charge density of the neutron is negative by using models of generalized parton distributions at zero skewness to relate the behavior of deep inelastic scattering quark…
We present a detailed study of the local atomic and magnetic structure of the type-I multiferroic perovskite system (Sr,Ba)(Mn,Ti)O$_3$ using x-ray and neutron pair distribution function (PDF) analysis, polarized neutron scattering, and…
We investigate the interplay of the electronic and structural transition in La$_{0.2}$Sr$_{0.8}$MnO$_{3}$. The transport and specific heat measurements exhibit unusual evolutions and signature of a first order phase transition around 265 K.…
Simulation (molecular dynamics and Car-Parrinello [Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 2471 (1985)]) and diffraction (x-ray and neutron) studies on nitromethane are compared aiming at the determination of the liquid structure. Beyond that, the…
Pulsed neutron diffraction investigations have been performed in the ferroelectric PZT system, Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3, doped with 1%wt. of Nb2O5, as a function of both temperature and composition. The study has been made in a wide range of…
We describe the local structural properties of the iron oxychalcogenides, La$_2$O$_2$Fe$_2$O$M_2$ ($M$ = S, Se), by using pair distribution function (PDF) analysis applied to total scattering data. Our results of neutron powder diffraction…
Neutron scattering investigations were carried out in PbMg$_{1/3}$Ta$_{2/3}$O$_3$ and BaMg$_{1/3}$Ta$_{2/3}$O$_3$ complex perovskites. The crystal structure of both compounds does not show any phase transition in the temperature range 1.5…
Models of generalized parton distributions at zero skewness are used to relate the behavior of deep inelastic scattering quark distributions, evaluated at high x, to the transverse charge density evaluated at small distances. We obtain an…
Neutron and x-ray total scattering measurements have been performed on powder samples of the iron chalcogenide superconductor FeSe. Using pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of the total scattering data to investigate short-range…
(short version) Accurate determination of the coherent static structure factor of disordered materials containing proton nuclei is prohibitively difficult by neutron diffraction, due to the large incoherent cross section of $^1$H. This…
We have utilized neutron powder diffraction to probe the crystal structure of layered Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ near the half doping composition of $x=$0.46 over the temperature range of 2 to 600K. Our measurements show evidence of a dynamic…
We present the first systematic nonlocal dispersive optical model analysis using both bound-state and scattering data of $^{16,18}$O, $^{40,48}$Ca, $^{58,64}$Ni, $^{112,124}$Sn, and $^{208}$Pb. In all systems, roughly half the total nuclear…
Methanol-$\beta$-hydroquinone-clathrate has been established as a model system for dielectric ordering and fluctuations and is conceptually close to magnetic spin systems. In X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments, we investigated the…
Polarized neutron diffraction allows to determine the local susceptibility tensor on the magnetic site both in single crystals and powders. It is widely used in the studies of single crystals, but it is still hardly applicable to a number…
We report a comprehensive study of dc susceptibility, specific heat, neutron diffraction, and inelastic neutron scattering measurements on polycrystalline Ba3(Cr1-xVx)2O8 samples, where x=0, 0.06, 0.15, and 0.53. A Jahn-Teller structure…
The atomic pair distribution functions (PDF) of four powder samples of YBa2Cu3O6+x (x=0.25, 0.45, 0.65, 0.94) at 15 K have been measured by means of pulsed neutron diffraction. The PDF is modelled using a full-profile fitting approach to…
Magnetization, neutron diffraction and X-ray diffraction of Zn doped MnV2O4 as a function of temperature have been measured and the critical exponents and magnetocaloric effect of this system have been estimated. It is observed, that with…
The two-dimensional polymer structure and lattice dynamics of the superionic conductor Li4 C60 are investigated by neutron diffraction and spectroscopy. The peculiar bonding architecture of this compound is definitely confirmed through the…
