Reentrant magnetism at the borderline between long-range antiferromagnetic order and spin-glass behavior in the B-site disordered perovskite system Ca2-x SrxFeRuO6

Philip Pattison

We report on the coexistence of magnetic order and disorder in the atomically disordered double perovskites Ca2FeRuO6 and CaSrFeRuO6. Powder x-ray and neutron diffraction were used to investigate the crystal structure and magnetic ordering of these oxides. ...

KSm(MoO4)2, an incommensurately modulated and partially disordered scheelite-like structure

Gervais Chapuis, Philip Pattison, Alla Arakcheeva

The incommensurately modulated scheelite-like KSm(MoO4)2 structure has been refined in the monoclinic superspace group I2/b(ab0)00 by the Rietveld method on the basis of synchrotron radiation powder diffraction data. The systematic broadening of satellite ...

3D Imaging of the Fermi Surface by Thermal Diffuse Scattering

Philip Pattison

We use thermal diffuse scattering of x rays to visualize the lens-shaped portions of the Fermi surface in metallic zinc. Our interpretation of the nature of the observed scattered intensity anomalies is supported by the incorporation of inelastic x-ray sca ...

Molecular envelopes derived from protein powder diffraction Molecular envelopes derived from protein powder diffraction data

Philip Pattison, Sebastian Basso

The preparation of single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis is frequently the most difﬁcult step in structural studies of proteins.With the aid of two examples, it is shown that de novo solution of the crystallographic phase problem can be achieved at l ...

Hidden Charge Order in an Iron Oxide Square-Lattice Compound

Philip Pattison

Since the discovery of charge disproportionation in the FeO2 square-lattice compound Sr3Fe2O7 by Mossbauer spectroscopy more than fifty years ago, the spatial ordering pattern of the disproportionated charges has remained "hidden" to conventional diffracti ...

Using X-ray absorption spectra to monitor specific radiation damage to anomalously scattering atoms in macromolecular crystallography

Philip Pattison, Marc Fleurant

Radiation damage in macromolecular crystals is not suppressed even at 90 K. This is particularly true for covalent bonds involving an anomalous scatterer (such as bromine) at the `peak wavelength'. It is shown that a series of absorption spectra recorded o ...

Ab initio reconstruction of difference densities by charge flipping

Thomas Alois Weber, Philip Pattison

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 ...

One-dimensional composite host-guest structure in BaVS3

László Forró, Helmuth Berger, Gervais Chapuis, Philip Pattison, Alla Arakcheeva, Neven Barisic

A detailed synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) study performed with a single crystal of BaVS3 (barium vanadium trisulfide) in the temperature range between 10 and 295 K is reported. Aside from the known tetragonal–orthorhombic (240 K) and orthorhombic–mono ...

Phase transition in an organic ferroelectric: glycinium phosphite, with and without X-ray radiation damage

Philip Pattison

Thermal evolution of an organic ferroelectric, namely, glycinium phosphite, was probed by multi-temperature single-crystal diffraction using synchrotron radiation and also by a similar experiment with a laboratory X-ray diffractometer. Both series of measu ...

Thermal induced structural properties of silver(I) sulphate (Ag2SO4)

Philip Pattison

The crystal structures of silver(I) sulphate, Ag2SO4, have been investigated as a function of temperature. A main feature is the phase transition from the low-temperature ordered phase, F ddd, to the high-temperature disordered phase, P63/mmc. In particula ...

Competing Jahn-Teller distortions and ferrimagnetic ordering in the geometrically frustrated system Ni1-xCuxCr2O4

Philip Pattison

Competing Jahn-Teller distortions combined with geometrical frustration give rise to a rich phase diagram as a function of x(Cu) and temperature in the spinel system Ni1-xCuxCr2O4. The Jahn-Teller distortion of the end members acts in opposite ways, with a ...

Incommensurate atomic density waves in the high-pressure IVb phase of barium

Gervais Chapuis, Philip Pattison, Alla Arakcheeva

The host–guest structures of elements at high pressure discovered a decade ago still leave many open questions due to the lack of precise models based on full exploitation of the diffraction data. This concerns in particular Ba IV, which is stable in the r ...
