During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

Periodic lattice distortions (PLD) are at the heart of correlated electronic behavior such as superconductivity 1, metal-insulator transitions 2, and charge density waves (CDW) 3. PLDs are typically ...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) belong to a new class of materials that are chemically concentrated in less-explored phase spaces. Since their initial discovery 1,2, HEAs have attracted tremendous interest ...

Could you start by explaining your background in crystallography and how you began using the Rigaku Synergy-ED system? Fraser: I began my journey into crystallography at the University of Edinburgh in ...
