Polarized infrared and neutron scattering studies of alpha-Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>
Studies on the lattice dynamics of ct-Bi203 have been performed including IR polarized reflectance spectra on single crystal, inelastic neutron scattering and specific heat measurements. Dispersion parameters and polarizations of IRactive phonons are presented and compared with neutron and specific heat data
Neutron scattering investigations of lattice dynamics and structure of superconducting ceramics LaSrCuO at different temperatures
Effects of magnetic anisotropy and exchange in Tm2Fe17
Neutron diffraction experiments have been carried out to study the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of two (2b and 2d) Tm sublattices and four (4f, 6g, 12j, and 12k) Fe sublattices in ferrimagnetic compound Tm2Fe 17 (space group P63/mmc). We have determined the temperature dependence of the magnitude and orientation of magnetization for each of the thulium and iron sublattices in the range (10-300) K. A spontaneous rotation (at about 90 K) of the Tm and Fe sublattice magnetizations from the c-axis to the basal plane is accompanied by a drastic change in the magnetization magnitude, signifying a large magnetization anisotropy. Both Tm sublattices exhibit an easy-axis type of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The Fe sublattices manifest both the uniaxial and planar anisotropy types. The sublattice formed by Fe atoms at the 4f position reveals the largest planar anisotropy constant. The Fe atoms at the 12j position show a uniaxial anisotropy. We find that the inelastic neutron scattering spectra measured below and above the spin-reorientation transition are remarkably different. © 2012 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
