Article Synopsis
- This study presents a detailed examination of the structures of the organic spin liquid κ-(BEDT-TTF)Ag(CN) at room temperature and 100 K, revealing its true triclinic symmetry rather than the previously assumed monoclinic structure.
- The findings indicate that despite identifying two non-equivalent dimers in the unit cell, there is surprisingly no significant charge imbalance between the dimers.
- The research emphasizes the role of the anionic layer and transition metal positioning in symmetry breaking, highlighting its potential but minor effect on the spin-liquid behavior and the influence of various disorders on the material's properties.
The Kossel effect is the diffraction by a periodically structured medium, of the characteristic X-ray radiation emitted by the atoms of the medium. We show that multilayers designed for X-ray optics applications are convenient periodic systems to use in order to produce the Kossel effect, modulating the intensity emitted by the sample in a narrow angular range defined by the Bragg angle. We also show that excitation can be done by using photons (X-rays), electrons or protons (or charged particles), under near normal or grazing incident geometries, which makes the method relatively easy to implement.
