Journal Article
Hearmon, A., Johnson, R., Beale, T., Dhesi, S., Luo, X., Cheong, S., …Radaelli, P. (2013). Magnetic fan structures in Ba0.5Sr1.5Zn2Fe12O22 hexaferrite revealed by resonant soft x-ray diffraction. Physical review B, 88(17), Article 174413. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.88.174413

The hexaferrites are known to exhibit a wide range of magnetic structures, some of which are connected to important technological applications and display magnetoelectric properties. We present data on the low magnetic field structures stabilized in... Read More about Magnetic fan structures in Ba0.5Sr1.5Zn2Fe12O22 hexaferrite revealed by resonant soft x-ray diffraction.

Antiferromagnetically Spin Polarized Oxygen Observed in Magnetoelectric TbMn2O5 (2010)
Journal Article
Beale, T., Wilkins, S., Johnson, R., Bland, S., Joly, Y., Forrest, T., …Hatton, P. (2010). Antiferromagnetically Spin Polarized Oxygen Observed in Magnetoelectric TbMn2O5. Physical Review Letters, 105(8), Article 087203. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.105.087203

We report the direct measurement of antiferromagnetic spin polarization at the oxygen sites in the multiferroic TbMn2O5, through resonant soft x-ray magnetic scattering. This supports recent theoretical models suggesting that the oxygen spin polariza... Read More about Antiferromagnetically Spin Polarized Oxygen Observed in Magnetoelectric TbMn2O5.

RASOR: An advanced instrument for soft x-ray reflectivity and diffraction (2010)
Journal Article

Thermally induced rotation of 3d orbital stripes in Pr(Sr0.1Ca0.9)(2)Mn2O7 (2009)
Journal Article
Beale, T., Bland, S., Johnson, R., Hatton, P., Cezar, J., Dhesi, S., …Boothroyd, A. (2009). Thermally induced rotation of 3d orbital stripes in Pr(Sr0.1Ca0.9)(2)Mn2O7. Physical review B, 79(5), Article 054433. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.79.054433

We have investigated orbital ordering in the bilayer manganite, Pr(Sr0.1Ca0.9)2Mn2O7, using synchrotron x-ray diffraction techniques, in particular resonant soft x-ray diffraction. Diffraction signals are observed at (0,12,0) above 300 K and (12,0,0)... Read More about Thermally induced rotation of 3d orbital stripes in Pr(Sr0.1Ca0.9)(2)Mn2O7.

Direct Observation of Orbital Ordering in Layered Manganites (2005)
Journal Article

Soft X-ray resonant diffraction is a new technique and there exist several examples of large resonant enhancements of charge and magnetic scattering that can be obtained at the L-edges of 3d transition metal oxides. Here we have employed resonant sof... Read More about Direct Observation of Orbital Ordering in Layered Manganites.

Resonant soft X-ray diffraction - in extremis. (2005)
Journal Article
Hatton, P., Wilkins, S., Beale, T., Johal, T., Prabhakaran, D., & Boothroyd, A. (2005). Resonant soft X-ray diffraction - in extremis. Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, 12(4), 434-441. https://doi.org/10.1107/s0909049505009167

The use of softer-energy X-rays produced by synchrotron radiation for diffraction is an area of current interest. In this paper, experiments exploiting resonant scattering at the L absorption edges of 3d transition metal elements are reported. Such e...
