Direct evidence for the magnetic ordering of Nd ions in NdMnSi and NdMnGe by high resolution inelastic neutron scattering
We have investigated the low energy nuclear spin excitations in
NdMnSi and NdMnGe by high resolution inelastic neutron
scattering. Previous neutron diffraction investigations gave ambiguous results
about Nd magnetic ordering at low temperatures. The present element-specific
technique gave direct evidence for the magnetic ordering of Nd ions. We found
considerable difference in the process of the Nd magnetic ordering at low
temperature in NdMnSi and NdMnGe. Our results are consistent
with those of magnetization and recent neutron diffraction measurements

Polarisation dependence of magnetic Bragg scattering in YMnO
The polarisation dependence of the intensity of elastic magnetic scattering
from \ymno\ single crystals has been measured at 25 K in magnetic fields
between 1 and 9 T. A significant polarisation dependence was observed in the
intensities of magnetic satellite reflections, propagation vector
\pv=0.5,0,0.25 measured with both the [100] and [010] axes parallel to the
common polarisation and applied field direction. The intensity asymmetries
observed in sets of orthorhombicly equivalent reflections show systematic
relationships which allow the phase relationship between different components
of their magnetic interaction vectors to be determined. They fix the
orientation relationships between the small and moments on the \mnfp\
and \mntp\ sub-lattices and lend support to the structure reported by Kim et
al. It was found that that which suggests
that there is a small modulation of the nuclear structure which has the same
wave-vector as the magnetic modulation leading to a small nuclear structure
factor for the satellite reflections. The differences observed indicate shifts in the atomic positions of order 0.005 \AA
