AbstractWe have made an investigation of the ion transport properties of single crystals of the naturally occurring clay vermiculite in order to elucidate the mechanism of conductivity including the predominant charge carrier. Measurements of the ion conductivity, magnetic susceptibility and x-ray lattice parameters of ion-exchanged samples strongly suggest that the native cations and not protons are the major current carriers. We have synthesized the hydrogen form and found that it is a much preferred precursor for ion-exchange by other cations allowing the time necessary for ion-exchange to be reduced from several months to around a week.

AbstractSystematically twinned olivenite (Cu2(AsO4)OH) single crystals from Cap Garonne, Mine du Pradet, France, were studied by X-ray diffraction: P 21/n, a = 822.69(6) pm, b = 861.88(9) pm, c = 594.06(9) pm, β = 90.000(6)°, wR = 0.0224, 1621 F2 values, 79 variables and a domain ratio of 0.501(1)/0.499(1). The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility was well reproduced with a square-spin cluster model and an antiferromagnetic spin-exchange parameter of J/kB = 157(3) K.

AbstractThe results of x-ray diffraction, resistivity and magnetization measurements of Ag/Cr metallic superlattices are presented. Dramatic changes in the interplanar distances of Ag and Cr were found as a function of the number of Cr monolayers in a period. The resistivities of the superlattices increased as the composition of Cr increased. Magnetization measurements show that the superlattice [Ag(10ML)/Cr(2ML)] exibits a maximum magnetic susceptibility.

The ambipolar charge transport properties of a series of push–pull carbazole-based semiconductors are here evaluated. The ambipolar characteristics depend on the supramolecular organization. Experimental results were confirmed and justified through the X-ray analysis of single crystals and by theoretical calculations.

AbstractSingle crystals of N(CH3)4NSO have been prepared via ion exchange from RbNSO or CsNSO and tetraalkylammonium halides in liquid ammonia and investigated by X-ray single crystal techniques (I4̅, a = 1137.6(1), c = 1134.9(2) pm, Z = 8, T = -100 °C). The crystal structure of N(CH3)4NSO is related to the CsCl-type of structure. Using the same preparative route NMe3BzNSO has been obtained. Its lattice powder data (orthorhombic primitive; a = 896.3(2), b = 1235.4(3), c = 1070.7(4) pm).

We present a route to grow single crystals of Ba 0.9 Sr 0.1 CuSi 2 O 6 suitable for inelastic neutron studies via the floating zone technique. Neutron single crystal diffraction was utilized to check their bulk quality and orientation. Finally, the high quality of the grown crystals was proven by X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility.

AbstractA comprehensive study of transport properties and magnetism on β-MnO2 reveals the strong coupling between the conduction electrons and the localized spins which are supposed to form a magnetic helix below TN ∼ 92 K. We also show the direct evidences of the helical magnetism by means of the measurements of the anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility and the observation of x ray magnetic scatterings on a single crystal of β-MnO2. These results are consistent with proper-type helix model proposed by Yoshimori [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 14, p. 807 (1959)]. This model also qualitatively agrees with the anisotropy in magnetoresistance that appears below TN. The pitch of the magnetic helix is not commensurate to the lattice and it is slightly temperature dependent. The intensity of several Bragg peaks drastically changes at TN suggesting that the magnetic ordering is accompanied by a lattice distortion.
