   Abstract : Thin metal films have found their use in many magnetic devices. They form pseudo two-dimensional systems, where the mechanisms for the magnetic interactions between the layers are not completely understood. READ MORE

5. 3. Modulations in Intermetallic Families of Compounds

   Author : Hanna Lind; Sven Lidin; Gervais Chapuis; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intermetallic; incommensurate structure; single crystal X-ray diffraction; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on a study of five distinct intermetallic systems with the aim of expanding the general knowledge of aperiodically modulated crystal structures. Families of compounds that contain a variety of superstructures together with incommensurately modulated structures have been investigated mainly by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction and higher dimensional structure models.

   Abstract : Materials with new or improved properties are crucial for technological development. To provide the foundation for future successful products, it is important to prepare and characterise new chemical compounds that could show unusual properties. READ MORE

7. 5. Magnetic ordering and crystal structure in selected transition- metal compounds

   Author : Hui-Ping Liu; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; transition-metal compounds; magnetic ordering; crystal structure; magneticstructure; neutron diffraction; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : Applications of magnetic materials are inherently related to their crystal, magnetic and electronic structures. In this thesis, experimental and theoretical methods have been focused on magnetic bulk materials from novel chemical synthesis, to X-ray diffraction for initial phase characterisation, and crystal and magnetic structure studies to explain their complex magnetic properties.
