The magnetization, crystal structure, and thermal expansion of a nearly stoichiometric Sr1.04(3)Er2.09(6)O4.00(1)single crystal have been studied by PPMS measurements and in-house and high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction.
The anisotropic thermal expansion properties of an organic semiconducting single crystal constituted by 4-hydroxycyanobenzene (4HCB) have been probed by X-rays diffraction and infrared spectroscopy in the range 120–300 K.
