How we can distinguish between different type of magnetic structures by simply looking at neutron diffraction data??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
By the patterns the neutron make when detected of course.
Different structures will deflect the neutrons in different ways.
I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific.
 
how we can distinguish between a-type and c-type magnetic structure?
 
The magnetic structure types are defined according to how the affect nearby magnetic dipoles right?
So describe the effect ... work out what that means for neutrons.
 
Google “High Pressure Effects on the Crystal and Magnetic Structure of Pr0.1Sr0.9MnO3 Manganite” N.T. Dang et al. This paper may give you some insight to your questions. They show neutron diffraction spectra of A-type AFM, C-type AFM and G-type AFM along with analysis.
 

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...

Thread 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
