We will measure the domain morphologies, lattice orientations, and local strain field fluctuations within the separate hexagonal LuMnO and rhombohedral LaSrMnO phases. In particular, we will quantitatively map the reciprocal space positions and shapes of recently observed superlattice streaks. We will attempt to understand how interactions between the domains can give rise to superlattice order. equipment_required: experiment: Interactions Between Phase Domains in a Complex Manganite System foreign_nationals: hazards: instrument: 34ID-E microbeam instrument_other: minimumdays: 3 name: John Budai new_request: ON nonmembers: submit: Submit unacceptable_dates: January 29-31; March 4-16, 2008 z34ID_change_undulator: yes z34ID_details: Parasitic operations in the other station will probably be difficult since we will need to change the undulator gap to optimize intensity for different reflections. z34ID_on_axis: yes z34ID_parasitic: no z34ID_taper: yes #REMOTE_HOST: dyn91159251.dz.ornl.gov #REMOTE_ADDR: 160.91.159.251 #CONTENT_LENGTH: 1301 #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:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11
