High-brilliance synchrotron radiation sources have opened new avenues for x-ray
polarization analysis that go far beyond conventional polarimetry in the optical domain. With …

Phase transitions in crystalline molecular solids have important implications in the
fundamental understanding of materials properties and in the development of materials …

The polarizing optical microscope has been used since the 19th century to study the
structural anisotropy of materials, based on the phenomenon of optical birefringence. In …

Birefringence can contribute to x-ray resonant Bragg diffraction and likely explains recent
novel data collected on CuO. We prove these statements using ab initio simulations which …

Structural properties of the bromocyclohexane/thiourea inclusion compound have been
determined using both single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction over a range of …
