20. Low temperature magnetic structure and lattice anomalies at the commensurate-incommensurate transition of multiferroic YBaCuFeO5

Mr Mickael Morin (Laboratory for Developments and Methods, Paul Scherrer Institut, 5232 Villigen PSI, Switzerland)

Ferroelectric materials have been known since almost one century ago [1]. While their potential for applications was rapidly recognized, the possibility of combining ferroelectricity with magnetic order -preferably with ferromagnetism- has resulted in an enormous deal of interest during the last decade. Several new materials combining both types of order have been reported, although their...

34. Resonant X-ray diffraction for multiferroic systems

Mr Sergio Di Matteo (University of Rennes)

23/05/2013, 17:00

The aim of the present talk is to provide a pedagogical introduction to Resonant X-ray Diffraction (RXD) as a tool to characterize exotic (multiferroic, multipolar) order parameters. After a brief description of analogies/differences with usual x-ray diffraction and with x-ray absorption, the main focus is put on the interpretation of energy and azimuth scans. Finally, some examples of RXD...
