Local structure study of the orbital order/disorder transition in LaMnO
Peter M. M. Thygesen, Callum A. Young, Edward O. R. Beake +8
We use a combination of neutron and X-ray total scattering measurements together with pair distribution function (PDF) analysis to characterise the variation in local structure acr…
Orbital Dimer Model for Spin-Glass State in YMoO
Peter M. M. Thygesen, Joseph A. M. Paddison, Ronghuan Zhang +7
The formation of a spin glass usually requires both structural disorder and frustrated magnetic interactions. Consequently, the origin of spin-glass behaviour in YMoO $…
Reverse Monte Carlo study of apical Cu-O bond distortions in YBa2Cu3O6.93
Callum A. Young, Edward Dixon, Matthew G. Tucker +3
A combination of neutron total scattering measurement and reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) refinement is applied to the study of apical Cu-O bond distortions in the high-Tc superconductor…
MgB2 Energy Gap Determination by Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy
T. W. Heitmann, S. D. Bu, D. M. Kim +13
We report scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) measurements of the gap properties of both ceramic MgB2 and c-axis oriented epitaxial MgB2 thin films. Both show a temperature depen…
The Hydride Anion in an Extended Transition Metal Oxide Array: LaSrCoO_3H_{0.7}
M. A. Hayward, E. J. Cussen, J. B. Claridge +6
We present the synthesis and structural characterisation of a transition metal oxide hydride, LaSrCoO_3H_{0.7}, which adopts an unprecedented structure in which oxide chains are br…
The complex superstructure in Mg1-xAlxB2 at x~0.5
H. W. Zandbergen, M. Y. Wu, H. Jiang +3
Electron diffraction and high resolution microscopy have been performed on Mg1-xAlxB2 with x~0.5. This composition displays a superstructure with a repeat period of exactly 2c alon…
