Although the vast majority of high-T c cuprate superconductors are hole-doped, a small
family of electron-doped compounds exists. Underinvestigated until recently, there has been …

Neutron scattering experiments continue to improve our knowledge of spin fluctuations in
layered cuprates, excitations that are symptomatic of the electronic correlations underlying …

A central issue in the field of high temperature superconductivity is the nature of the normal
state. Here we review normal state transport, thermodynamic, magnetic and spectroscopic …

Tapered glass capillaries have successfully condensed hard x-ray beams to ultrasmall
dimensions providing unprecedented spatial resolution for the characterization of materials …

Systematic Mn K-edge x-ray-absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements on samples of
La 1− x Ca x MnO 3 are reported. Detailed results on the chemical shift and pre-edge feature …

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and the Infrared, Raman and UV–visible spectra of
CeO2 ZrO2 powders prepared by co-precipitation are presented. Raman spectra provide …

We report muon spin relaxation and rotation measurements on sintered ceramic samples of
Nd 2− x Ce x CuO 4− y and a large single crystal of Nd 2 CuO 4− y. We find an electronic …

O1s and Cu2p absorption edges of cuprate high-T c superconductors (HTSC) and related
compounds measured by electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and X-ray absorption …

Abstract In Ce-doped R MnO 3 the rare earth (R) is partially replaced with cerium ions
instead of divalent alkaline-earth metals. These compounds are very sensitive to annealing …

XAFS at the copper K-edge has been recorded for cuprous oxide and cupric oxide
separately and also for a mixture of the two in a specific ratio, at the XAFS beam line at …
