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…

Lightly stuffed pyrochlore structure of single-crystalline Yb2Ti2O7 grown by the optical floating zone technique

K. A. Ross, Th. Proffen, H. A. Dabkowska +4

Recent neutron scattering and specific heat studies on the pyrochlore Yb2Ti2O7 have revealed variations in its magnetic behavior below 265mK. In the best samples, a sharp anomaly i…

Atomic displacements in the "charge-ice" pyrochlore Bi2Ti2O7 studied by neutron total scattering

D. P. Shoemaker, A. L. Hector, C. J. Fennie +3

The oxide pyrochlore BiTiOO is known to be associated with large displacements of Bi and O atoms from their ideal crystallographic positions. Neutron…
