We have studied the constraints that the spin group symmetry imposes on the most important crystal tensors, on the basis of a generalization of the Neumann principle to spin point groups. Some examples of real materials are presented, and their tensor forms under the spin and magnetic point groups are compared.

The double-slit Laue symmetrical case dynamical diffraction of X-rays in a crystal influenced by a constant temperature gradient is investigated. The dynamical diffraction double-slit interference fringes are formed; for the period of the fringes an expression is obtained, which depends on the modulus of the temperature gradient and is polarization sensitive.

Measurement of diffuse scattering data and subsequent three-dimensional difference pair-distribution function (3D-ΔPDF) analysis of correlated disorder are compared for in-house and synchrotron sources.

The contradiction between 7 band symmetry groups and 5 uniaxial Curie limit symmetry groups is resolved. There arise 2 more limit symmetry groups with true inversion axes if we change the understanding of the symmetry axis n → ∞.

A novel theory for the one-phase semi-invariant estimates is presented. The theoretical approach uses the Patterson map as prior information.
