In crystal chemistry and crystal physics, the relations between the symmetry groups (space
groups) of crystalline solids are of special importance. Part 1 of this book presents the …

The inimitable electronic structures of the lanthanide (Ln) ions are key to advanced materials
and technologies involving these elements. The trivalent ions are ubiquitous and are used …

In this review, we give an overview of the properties and applications of samarium
monosulfide, SmS, which has gained considerable interest as a switchable material. It …

This review tries to establish what is the current understanding of the rare-earth
monopnictides and monochalcogenides from first principles. The rock salt structure is …

Stimulated by strong demand for thermal expansion control from advanced modern
industries, various giant negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials have been developed …

Resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy was used to determine the pressure dependence of
the f-electron occupancy in the Kondo insulator SmB 6. Applied pressure reduces the f …

A new experimental station at ESRF beamline ID20 is presented which allows magnetic and
resonant X-ray scattering experiments in the energy range 3–25 keV to be performed under …

Misfit layered compounds (MLCs) MX-TX2, where M, T= metal atoms and X= S, Se, or Te,
and their nanotubes are of significant interest due to their rich chemistry and unique quasi …

We have investigated temperature-dependent behaviors of electronic structure and
resistivity in a mixed-valent golden phase of SmS, based on the dynamical mean-field …

Group–subgroup schemes are a useful tool in crystal chemistry for systemizing crystal
structures and they are an indispensable help during X-ray crystallographic studies of …
