We will use microfluorescence to map the composition of domains and 3D microdiffraction to map the spatial variations in phase, orientation, and lattice strain. We will use energy-wire-position scans to measure the absolute lattice parameter changes near phase boundaries and fluctuations within individual lamella. We will compare structural measurements with electronic (photoemission) observations, and interpret the results in terms of theoretical models for phase coexistence. equipment_required: experiment: Self-Organized Domains in Multiferroic Manganites foreign_nationals: hazards: instrument: 34ID-E microbeam instrument_other: minimumdays: 4.3 name: John Budai nonmembers: Gopal Shenoy submit: Submit unacceptable_dates: January 30-February 6; March 1 – March 25 z34ID_change_undulator: yes z34ID_details: Most (>80-90%) of these 34ID-E diffraction measurements can be made with off-axis beam and undulator ~8-9 keV. However, some on-axis fluorescence measurements will also be required. z34ID_on_axis: yes z34ID_parasitic: no z34ID_taper: no #REMOTE_HOST: jdbmbp.ornl.gov #REMOTE_ADDR: 160.91.48.62 #CONTENT_LENGTH: 1389 #HTTP_REFERER: http://www.uni.aps.anl.gov/admin/unireq.html #HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061025 Firefox/1.5.0.8
