mPDF study of MnO highlighted by Brookhaven and Columbia

Billinge group members and collaborators recently conducted a detailed experimental and theoretical study of the magnetic interactions in the classic antiferromagnet MnO using magnetic pair distribution function (mPDF) analysis, resulting in a publication in Physical Review Letters (Frandsen et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 116 197204, see here). This work, which has furthered the methodology of… Read More mPDF study of MnO highlighted by Brookhaven and Columbia

Magnetic PDF paper featured on cover of Acta A as first “Advances” article

Recent work in the Billinge group has led to the derivation of the fundamental equations of magnetic pair distribution function (mPDF) analysis, in analogy to the more familiar atomic PDF. This breakthrough provides a new way to quantitatively investigate local magnetic correlations and has the potential to be extremely valuable in a diverse range of… Read More Magnetic PDF paper featured on cover of Acta A as first “Advances” article
