The IR reflectance spectra of the cubic noncentrosymmetric ferrimagnet Cu2OSeO3 (T-C approximate to 60 K) were investigated in the temperature range 10-80 K. Detailed analysis of the symmetry and composition of vibrational modes was conducted on the basis ...
The space-group symmetry of a crystal structure imposes a point-group symmetry on its diffraction pattern, giving rise to so-called symmetry-equivalent reflections. Instances in macromolecular crystallography are discussed in which the symmetry in reciproc ...
An equivalence relation on the tangent bundle of a manifold is defined in order to extend a structure (modulated or not) onto it. This extension affords a representation of a structure in any tangent space and that in another tangent space can easily be de ...
In recent years quantum antiferromagnets with an intrinsically disordered (“spin liquid”) ground state and an energy gap in the spin excitation spectrum have received a great deal of attention. In search for new experimental realizations of spin-ladder and ...
Ferroelectric perovskites exhibit superior dielectric, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Architecting ferroelectrics in the small scale holds interest in both application and fundamental research. Compared to their 2D counterparts – thin films, f ...
The comparable order of magnitude between interatomic distances in a crystal and the wavelength of X-rays make X-ray crystallography the ideal analytical tool to gain insight into the structure of crystalline material, including biomolecules. Nevertheless, ...
A general formalism for the maximal symmetrization and reduction of fields (MSRFs) is proposed and applied to wave functions in solid-state nanostructures. Its primary target is to provide an essential tool for the study and analysis of the electronic and ...
A protocol for the ab initio crystal structure determination of powdered solids at natural isotopic abundance by combining solid-state NMR spectroscopy, crystal structure prediction, and DFT chemical shift calculations was evaluated to determine the crysta ...
The charge-flipping algorithm in its band-flipping variant is capable of ab initio reconstructions of scattering densities with positive and negative values. It is shown that the method can be applied to reconstructions of difference electron densities of ...
Size effect in ferroelectrics is treated as a competition between the geometrical symmetry of the ferroelectric sample and its crystalline symmetry. Polarization rotation is shown to be a clear finite size effect that results from this competition, which c ...
