High resolution total and indium differential atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs) for In_(0.5)Ga_(0.5)As alloys have been obtained by high energy and anomalous x-ray diffraction experiments, respectively. The first peak in the total PDF is resolved as a doublet due to the presence of two distinct bond lengths, In-As and Ga-As. The In differential PDF, which involves only atomic pairs containing In, yields chemical specific information and helps ease the structure data interpretation. Both PDFs have been fit with structure models and the way in that the underlying cubic zinc-blende lattice of In_(0.5)Ga_(0.5)As semiconductor alloy distorts locally to accommodate the distinct In-As and Ga-As bond lengths present has been quantified.

Pb(Fe$_{0.5}$Nb$_{0.5}$)O$_3$ (PFN), one of the few relaxor multiferroic systems, has a $G$-type antiferromagnetic transition at $T_N$ = 143 K and a ferroelectric transition at $T_C$ = 385 K. By using high-resolution neutron-diffraction experiments a
nd a total scattering technique, we paint a comprehensive picture of the long- and short-range structures of PFN: (i) a clear sign of short-range structural correlation above $T_C$, (ii) no sign of the negative thermal expansion behavior reported in a previous study, and (iii) clearest evidence thus far of magnetoelectric coupling below $T_N$. We conclude that at the heart of the unusual relaxor multiferroic behavior lies the disorder between Fe$^{3+}$ and Nb$^{5+}$ atoms. We argue that this disorder gives rise to short-range structural correlations arising from O disorder in addition to Pb displacement.
Neutron pair distribution function analysis and first principles calculations have been employed to study short-range correlations in heavily disordered dielectric material Sr$_x$Ba$_{1-x}$Nb$_2$O$_6$ ($x=0.35, 0.5$ and 0.61). The combination of meth
ods has been fruitful in pinpointing main local-structure features, their temperature behaviour and interrelation. A rather complex system of tilts is found to be both temperature and Sr-content sensitive with the biggest tilt magnitudes reached at low temperatures and high $x$. Relative Nb-O$_6$ displacements, directly responsible for materials ferroelectric properties, are shown to be distinct in two octahedra sub-systems with different freezing temperatures and disparate levels of deviation from macroscopic polarization direction. Intrinsic disorder caused by Sr, Ba and vacancy distribution is found to introduce local strain to the structure and directly influence octahedra tilting. These findings establish a new atomistic picture of the local structure -- property relationship in Sr$_x$Ba$_{1-x}$Nb$_2$O$_6$.
Using ab initio calculations and special quasirandom structures, we have characterized the distribution of defect formation energy and migration barrier in Ni-based solid-solution alloys: Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.5}, Ni_{0.5}Fe_{0.5}, Ni_{0.8}Fe_{0.2} and Ni_{0
.8}Cr_{0.2}. As defect formation energies depend sensitively on elemental chemical potential, we have developed a computationally efficient method for determining it which takes into account the global composition and local short-range order. We find that Fe has the biggest alloy effects for Ni among these four elements. Our results show that the distribution of migration energies for vacancies and interstitial have a region of overlap, which will facilitate the recombination between them.
Multiferroic (Bi1-xLaxFeO3)0.5(PbTiO3)0.5 ceramics was prepared from mechanical synthesized nanopowders. The XRD studies revealed the tetragonal structure and the tetragonality decreased with La content. Dielectric response of the compounds was found
to contain three anomalies: 1) relaxor-like behavior due to lattice disorder (below 300 K); 2) dielectric permittivity maxima at~400 K attributed to the presence of oxygen vacancies; 3) grain boundary effect above 475 K. The Curie point at ~500 K was observed for the compound with x=0.5. The composition near the morphotropic boundary: (Bi0.8La0.2FeO3)0.5(PbTiO3)0.5 shoved the highest remnant magnetization. The irreversible magnetic properties of the (Bi1-xLaxFeO3)0.5(PbTiO3)0.5 compounds can be explained in terms of disorder induced spin-glass behavior due to random substitution of La or Pb ions for Bi sites. A sharp step in magnetization about 250 K is caused by the A-site distortion associated with tilts of FeO6 octahedra leading to modification of Fe-O-Fe angles and of antiferromagnetic coupling between magnetic Fe3+ moments.
We have studied the critical behaviour in $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3}$ near the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition temperature. We have analysed our dc magnetisation data near the transition temperature with the help of modified Arrott plots, Kouvel-
Fisher method. We have determined the critical temperature $T_c$ and the critical exponents, $beta$ and $gamma$. With these values of $T_c$, $beta$ and $gamma$, we plot $M/(1-T/T_c)^{beta}$ vs $H/(1-T/T_c)^{gamma}$. All the data collapse on one of the two curves. This suggests that the data below and above $T_c$ obeys scaling, following a single equation of state.
