I15-Extreme Conditions	The high-pressure, high-temperature phase diagram of cerium Keith Munro , Dominik Daisenberger , Simon Macleod , Steve Mcguire , Ingo Loa , Catalin Popescu , Pablo Botella , Daniel Errandonea , Malcolm Mcmahon Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/ab7f02 Diamond Proposal Number(s): [9548, 7533] Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: We present an experimental study of the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of cerium up to $\sim$22 GPa and 820 K using angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction and external resistive heating. Studies above 820 K were prevented by chemical reactions between the samples and the diamond anvils of the pressure cells. We unambiguously measure the stability region of the orthorhombic \textit{oC}4 phase and find it reaches its apex at 7.1 GPa and 650 K. We locate the $\alpha$-\textit{cF}4 -- \textit{oC}4 -- \textit{tI}2 triple point at 6.1 GPa and 640 K, 1 GPa below the location of the apex of the \textit{oC}4 phase, and 1-2 GPa lower than previously reported. We find the $\alpha$-\textit{cF}4 $\rightarrow$ \textit{tI}2 phase boundary to have a positive gradient of 280 K/GPa, less steep than the 670 K/GPa reported previously, and find the \textit{oC}4 $\rightarrow$ \textit{tI}2 phase boundary to lie at higher temperatures than previously found. We also find variations as large as 2-3 GPa in the transition pressures at which the \textit{oC}4 $\rightarrow$ \textit{tI}2 transition takes place at a given temperature, the reasons for which remain unclear. Finally, we find no evidence that the $\alpha$-\textit{cF}4 $\rightarrow$ \textit{tI}2 is not second order at all temperatures up to 820 K.	Mar 2020
I15-Extreme Conditions	Tuning dimensionality in van-der-Waals antiferromagnetic Mott insulators TM PS3 Matthew John Coak , David M. Jarvis , Hayrullo Hamidov , Charles Haines , Patricia Lebre Alireza , Cheng Liu , Suhan Son , Inho Hwang , Giulio I. Lampronti , Dominik Daisenberger , Paul Nahai-williamson , Andrew Wildes , Siddharth S. Saxena , J.-g. Park Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/ab5be8 Diamond Proposal Number(s): [21368] Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: We present an overview of our recent work in tuning and controlling the structural, magnetic and electronic dimensionality of 2D van-der-Waals antiferromagnetic compounds (Transition-Metal)PS3. Low-dimensional magnetic systems such as these provide rich opportunities for studying new physics and the evolution of established behaviours with changing dimensionality. These materials can be exfoliated to monolayer thickness and easily stacked and combined into functional heterostructures. Alternatively, the application of hydrostatic pressure can be used to controllably close the van-der-Waals interplanar gap and tune the crystal structure and electron exchange paths towards a 3D nature. We collect and discuss trends and contrasts in our data from electrical transport, Raman scattering and synchrotron x-ray measurements, as well as insight from theoretical calculations and other results from the literature. We discuss structural transitions with pressure common to all materials measured, and link these to Mott insulator-transitions in these compounds at high pressures. Key new results include magnetotransport and resistivity data in the high-pressure metallic states, which show potentially interesting qualities for a new direction of future work focused on low temperature transport and quantum critical physics.

I16-Materials and Magnetism	Critical fluctuations in the spin–orbit Mott insulator Sr3Ir2O7 J. G. Vale , S. Boseggia , H. C. Walker , R. S. Springell , E. C. Hunter , R. S. Perry , S. P. Collins , D. F. Mcmorrow Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter 31 DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/ab0471 Diamond Proposal Number(s): [7798, 12911] Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: X-ray magnetic critical scattering measurements and specific heat measurements were performed on the perovskite iridate Sr3Ir2O7. We find that the magnetic interactions close to the Néel temperature Tn = 283.4(2) K are three-dimensional. This contrasts with previous studies which suggest two-dimensional behaviour like Sr2IrO4. Violation of the Harris criterion (dv > 2) means that weak disorder becomes relevant. This leads a rounding of the antiferromagnetic phase transition at Tn, and modifies the critical exponents relative to the clean system. Specifically, we determine that the critical behaviour of Sr2Ir2O7 is representative of the diluted 3D Ising universality class.	May 2019
I16-Materials and Magnetism	Selective probing of magnetic order on Tb and Ir sites in stuffed Tb2+xIr2−xO7−y using resonant X-ray scattering Christian Donnerer , Marein C. Rahn , Enrico Schierle , Robin S. Perry , Larissa S. I. Veiga , Gareth Nisbet , Steve Collins , Dharmalingam Prabhakaran , Andrew T. Boothroyd , Des Mcmorrow Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/ab2217 Diamond Proposal Number(s): [14024] Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: We study the magnetic structure of the “stuﬀed” (Tb-rich) pyrochlore iridate Tb2+xIr2−xO7−y, using resonant elastic x-ray scattering (REXS). In order to disentangle contributions from Tb and Ir magnetic sublattices, experiments were performed at the Ir L3 and Tb M5 edges, which provide selective sensitivity to Ir 5d and Tb 4f magnetic moments, respectively. At the Ir L3 edge, we found the onset of long-range k = 0 magnetic order below TIr N ∼71K, consistent with the expected signal of all-in all-out (AIAO) magnetic order. Using a single-ion model to calculate REXS crosssections, we estimate an ordered magnetic moment of µIr 5d ≈ 0.34(3)µB at 5K. At the Tb M5 edge,long-range k = 0 magnetic order appeared below ∼ 40K, also consistent with an AIAO magnetic structure on the Tb site. Additional insight into the magnetism of the Tb sublattice is gleaned from measurements at the M5 edge in applied magnetic ﬁelds up to 6T, which is found to completely suppress the Tb AIAO magnetic order. In zero applied ﬁeld, the observed gradual onset of the Tb sublattice magnetisation with temperature suggests that it is induced by the magnetic order on the Ir site. The persistence of AIAO magnetic order, despite the greatly reduced ordering temperature and moment size compared to stoichiometric Tb2Ir2O7, for which TIr N = 130K and µIr 5d = 0.56µB, indicates that stuﬃng could be a viable means of tuning the strength of electronic correlations, thereby potentially oﬀering a new strategy to achieve topologically non-trivial band crossings in pyrochlore iridates.

I10-Beamline for Advanced Dichroism I16-Materials and Magnetism	Local magnetism, magnetic order and spin freezing in the "nonmetallic metal" FeCrAs Benjamin Huddart , Max T. Birch , Francis Pratt , Stephen Blundell , Dan. G. Porter , Stewart J. Clark , Wenlong Wu , Stephen R. Julian , Peter Hatton , Tom Lancaster Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/ab151f Diamond Proposal Number(s): [15119] Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: We present the results of x-ray scattering and muon-spin relaxation (μ+SR) measurements on the iron-pnictide compound FeCrAs. Polarized non-resonant magnetic x-ray scattering results reveal the 120 periodicity expected from the suggested three-fold symmetric, non-collinear antiferromagnetic structure. μ+SR measurements indicate a magnetically ordered phase throughout the bulk of the material below T N=105(5) K. There are signs of fluctuating magnetism in a narrow range of temperatures above T N involving low-energy excitations, while at temperatures well below T N behaviour characteristic of freezing of dynamics is observed, likely reflecting the effect of disorder in our polycrystalline sample. Using density functional theory we propose a distinct muon stopping site in this compound and assess the degree of distortion induced by the implanted muon.	Apr 2019
B21-High Throughput SAXS I22-Small angle scattering & Diffraction	Flexibility defines structure in crystals of amphiphilic DNA nanostars Ryan Brady , Will T. Kaufhold , Nicholas J. Brooks , Vito Foderà , Lorenzo Di Michele Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter 31 DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/aaf4a1 Diamond Proposal Number(s): [17271, 16970] Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: DNA nanostructures with programmable shape and interactions can be used as building blocks for the self-assembly of crystalline materials with prescribed nanoscale features, holding a vast technological potential. Structural rigidity and bond directionality have been recognised as key design features for DNA motifs to sustain long-range order in 3D, but the practical challenges associated with prescribing building-block geometry with sufficient accuracy have limited the variety of available designs. We have recently introduced a novel platform for the one-pot preparation of crystalline DNA frameworks supported by a combination of Watson–Crick base pairing and hydrophobic forces (Brady et al 2017 Nano Lett. 17 3276–81). Here we use small angle x-ray scattering and coarse-grained molecular simulations to demonstrate that, as opposed to available all-DNA approaches, amphiphilic motifs do not rely on structural rigidity to support long-range order. Instead, the flexibility of amphiphilic DNA building-blocks is a crucial feature for successful crystallisation.	Feb 2019
	Energy-level alignment at strongly coupled organic-metal interfaces Meng-ting Chen , Oliver T. Hofmann , Alexander Gerlach , Benjamin Bröker , Christoph Buerker , Jens Niederhausen , Takuya Hosokai , Jorg Zegenhagen , Antje Vollmer , Ralph Rieger , Klaus Muellen , Frank Schreiber , Ingo Salzmann , Norbert Koch , Egbert Zojer , Steffen Duhm Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/ab0171 Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: Energy-level alignment at organic-metal interfaces plays a crucial role for the performance of organic electronic devices. However, reliable models to predict energetics at strongly coupled interfaces are still lacking. We elucidate contact formation of 1,2,5,6,9,10-coronenehexone (COHON) to the (111)-surfaces of coinage metals by means of ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the X-ray standing wave technique, and density functional theory calculations. While for low COHON thicknesses, the work-functions of the systems vary considerably, for thicker organic films Fermi-level pinning leads to identical work functions of 5.2 eV for all COHON-covered metals irrespective of the pristine substrate work function and the interfacial interaction strength.

I15-Extreme Conditions	High-pressure/high-temperature phase diagram of zinc Daniel Errandonea , Simon Macleod , Javier Ruiz-fuertes , L. Burakovsky , Malcolm Mcmahon , Craig Wilson , Jordi Ibañez , Dominik Daisenberger , Catalin Popescu Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/aacac0 Diamond Proposal Number(s): [19846] Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: The phase diagram of zinc (Zn) has been explored up to 140 GPa and 6000 K, by combining optical observations, x-ray diffraction, and ab-initio calculations. In the pressure range covered by this study, Zn is found to retain a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystal symmetry up to the melting temperature. The known decrease of the axial ratio (c/a) of the hcp phase of Zn under compression is observed in x-ray diffraction experiments from 300 K up to the melting temperature. The pressure at which c/a reaches √3 (≈10 GPa) is not affected by temperature. When this ideal axial ratio is reached, we observed that single crystals of Zn, formed at high temperature, break into multiple poly-crystals. In addition, a noticeable change in the pressure dependence of c/a takes place at the same pressure. Both phenomena can be caused by an isomorphic second-order phase transition induced by pressure in Zn. The reported melt curve extends previous results from 24 to 135 GPa. The pressure dependence obtained for the melting temperature is accurately described by using a Simon–Glatzel equation. The determined melt curve agrees with previous low-pressure studies and with shock-wave experiments, with a melting temperature of 5060(30) K at 135 GPa. Finally, a thermal equation of state is reported, which at room-temperature agrees with the literature.	Jun 2018
	Electronic and magnetic properties of multiferroic ScFeO3 available from diffraction experiments Stephen W. Lovesey , Dmitry D. Khalyavin Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/aa860f Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: Electronic and magnetic properties of ferric ions (3d5) in multiferroic ScFeO3 are puzzling, in part because they are different from the only other multiferroic known to possess the same polar chemical structure, BiFeO3. Open questions about ScFeO3 can be addressed by confronting observations with results for G-type antiferromagnetism allowed by the lithium niobate (LiNbO3)-like parent R3c structure. Calculated structure factors for resonant x-ray diffraction include all charge-like quadrupoles allowed by symmetry, and if experimental results for ScFeO3 subsequently imply they are different from zero then ferric ions cannot be in the high-spin 6S state. The same type of experiment can reveal the moment direction in the G-type antiferromagnetism, according to our calculations, and thereby contribute to understanding magnetic anisotropy. Furthermore, structure factors for magnetic neutron diffraction by ScFeO3 include Dirac multipoles that are time-odd and parity-odd, e.g., dipoles that are often called anapoles or toroidal moments. Apart from Dirac multipoles, the conventional approach to the interpretation of neutron Bragg diffraction data will be inadequate if ferric ions (Fe3) are not in the high-spin 6S state, because the scattering amplitude includes more than simple dipole moments in the general case.

	Neutron scattering by Dirac multipoles S. W. Lovesey , D. D. Khalyavin Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter 29 DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/aa5ad8 Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: Scattering by magnetic charge formed by Dirac multipoles that are magnetic and polar is examined in the context of materials with properties that challenge conventional concepts. An order parameter composed of Dirac quadrupoles has been revealed in the pseudo-gap phase of ceramic, high-T c superconductors on the basis of Kerr effect and magnetic neutron Bragg diffraction measurements. Construction of Dirac quadrupoles that emerge from centrosymmetric sites used by Cu ions in the ceramic superconductor Hg1201 is illustrated, together with selection rules for excitations that will feature in neutron inelastic scattering, and RIXS experiments. We report magnetic scattering amplitudes for diffraction by polar multipoles that have universal value, because they are not specific to ceramic superconductors. To illustrate this attribute, we consider neutron Bragg diffraction from a magnetically ordered iridate (Sr2IrO4) and discuss shortcomings in published interpretations of diffraction data.	Jun 2017
