A continuum model derived from an atomistic Hamiltonian is used to examine the ordering kinetics in CuAu. A detailed description of the formation of the low and high temperature ordered and modulated superlattice states is given. The…
The temperature dependence of the diffuse scattering fine structure from disordered equiatomic CuAu was studied using {\it in situ} x-ray scattering. In contrast to Cu$_3$Au the diffuse peak splitting in CuAu was found to be relatively…
The scattering of coherent X-rays from dynamically evolving systems is currently becoming experimentally feasible. The scattered beam produces a pattern of bright and dark speckles, which fluctuate almost independently in time and can be…
An interface description and numerical simulations of model A kinetics are used for the first time to investigate the intra-surface kinetics of phase ordering on corrugated surfaces. Geometrical dynamical equations are derived for the…
Resonant soft x-ray scattering experiments with photon energies near the O K and the Cu L3 edge on the system La1.8-xEu0.2SrxCuO4 for 0.1 <= x <= 0.15 are presented. A phase diagram for stripe-like charge ordering is obtained together with…
We report resonant x-ray scattering data of the orbital and magnetic ordering at low temperatures at the Mn $L_{\rm 2,3}$ edges in \lsmo. The orderings display complex energy features close to the Mn absorption edges. Systematic modeling…
Resonant soft X-ray scattering with photon energies near the O K and the Cu L3 edges was used to study charge ordering in the system La_{1.8-x}Eu_{0.2}Sr_xCuO_4 as a function of temperature for x = 0.125 and 0.15. From the superstructure…
We study the kinetics of ordering in Cu3Au using a model Hamiltonian derived from the effective medium theory of chemical bonding. Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate universal and non-universal features of the growth kinetics.…
Thermal quenching has been used to find metastable materials such as hard steels and metallic glasses. More recently, quenching-based phase control has been applied to correlated electron systems that exhibit metal--insulator, magnetic or…
The nature of the unconventional ordered phase occurring in CeRu2Al10 below T0 = 27 K was investigated by neutron scattering. Powder diffraction patterns show clear superstructure peaks corresponding to forbidden (h + k)-odd reflections of…
Mixtures of bare atomic nuclei on a nearly uniform degenerate electron background are a realistic model of matter in the interior of white dwarfs. Despite tremendous progress in understanding their phase diagrams achieved mainly via…
Several static and dynamic properties of liquid Cu, Ag and Au at thermodynamic states near their respective melting points, have been evaluated by means of the orbital free ab-initio molecular dynamics simulation method. The calculated…
How condensed-matter simulations depend on the number of molecules being simulated ($N$) is sometimes itself a valuable piece of information. Liquid crystals provide a case in point. Light scattering and $2d$-IR experiments on…
In contrast to thermotropic biaxial nematic phases, for which some long sought for experimental realizations have been obtained, no experimental realizations are yet known for their tetrahedratic and cubatic counterparts,involving…
Recent experiments report that the long looked for thermotropic biaxial nematic phase has been finally detected in some thermotropic liquid crystalline systems. Inspired by these experimental observations we concentrate on some elementary…
We study the effect of thermal fluctuations in the XY-model on a surface with non vanishing mean curvature and zero Gaussian curvature. Unlike Gaussian curvature that typically frustrates orientational order, the extrinsic curvature of the…
The spin-1 Ising (BEG) model has been simulated using a cellular automaton (CA) algorithm improved from the Creutz cellular automaton (CCA) for a face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice. The ground state diagram ($k$, $d$) of the fcc BEG model…
X-ray resonant scattering at the K-edge of transition metal oxides is shown to measure the orbital order parameter, supposed to accompany magnetic ordering in some cases. Virtual transitions to the 3d-orbitals are quadrupolar in general. In…
In the cuprate superconductors, superconductivity often co-exists with other types of order, including charge density wave and nematic orders. Over the past decade, resonant x-ray scattering has emerged as a key tool to investigate these…
A theoretical study of toroidal membranes with various degrees of intrinsic orientational order is presented at mean-field level. The study uses a simple Ginzburg-Landau style free energy functional, which gives rise to a rich variety of…
