Synopsis: The crystal structure of colloidal particles in ferrofluids can be easily obtained in a fast synchrotron light diffraction experiment without any special treatment of the ferrofluid sample. Moreover, from the same diffraction patterns, parameters such as particle mean size and dispersion can be retrieved.

Synopsis: The stresses in cold rolled ferritic steel are measured both in a cold rolled material and under tensile loaded conditions. Plastic incompatibility second-order stresses and stored elastic energy are determined for different orientations of a polycrystalline grain, using X-ray diffraction data and results of the self-consistent elasto-plastic model.

Synopsis: The lattice parameters of Mg1-xFexO (x = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) in the range P < 10.3 GPa and 300 < T < 986 K have been determined by time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction. Fitting all data simultaneously to a P-V-T-x equation of state leads to values for the temperature derivative of the isothermal incompressibility,
KT/
T, and the isothermal Anderson-Grünseisen parameter,
T, of -0.024 (9) GPa K-1 and 4.0 (16) at 300 K.

Synopsis: A simple Monte Carlo model has been developed that convincingly reproduces the diffuse streaking that is observed on selected-area electron diffraction patterns of the rhombohedral phase of PZT. These results provide substantial evidence that the Pb as well as the Ti/Zr ions are displaced away from the centres of their coordination polydedra along cubic <111>c directions and that these displacements are correlated along chains that run along <111>c also.

Synopsis: It is shown through rigorous dynamical diffraction modeling that the ray tracing methods employed in kinematical diffraction analysis of strain become invalid for weakly deformed crystals that scatter in the dynamical limit. For an Si crystal illuminated by 12 keV X-rays, the kinematical formalisms should not be used if the strain gradient along the diffraction vector is smaller than 10-5 µm-1.
