The PDF refinement shows layer structure of SnS-A with two distinct bond lengths, one nearly parallel to the ‘a’ axis and another perpendicular to the ‘a’ axis, it corresponds to bond lengths of 2.62528 (38) Å and 2.66204 (03) Å.

X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) measurements of the colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) sample La 0.79 Ca 0.21 MnO 3 at high fields indicate a decrease in the width parameter of the pair distribution function, σ, as the applied magnetic field is increased for T near Tc. The change in σ2 from the disordered polaron state varies approximately exponentially with magnetization irrespective of whether the sample magnetization was achieved through a change in temperature or the application of an external magnetic field. This suggests a more universal relationship between local structure and the sample magnetization than was previously indicated.

<p>Defect engineering is a powerful tool that can be used to tailor the properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, we incorporate defects through ball milling to systematically vary the porosity of the giant pore MOF, MIL-100 (Fe). We show that milling leads to the breaking of metal–linker bonds, generating more coordinatively unsaturated metal sites, and ultimately causes amorphisation. Pair distribution function analysis shows the hierarchical local structure is partially</p><p>retained, even in the amorphised material. We find that the solvent toluene stabilises the MIL-100 (Fe) framework against collapse and leads to a substantial rentention of porosity over the non-stabilised material.</p>
