The Crystal Structure of Eu2Pd3Sn in the Magnetic State

The aim of the proposal is to investigate the crystal structure of Eu2Pd3Sn at the long and local scale by means of X-ray powder diffraction and pair distribution function analyses, from room temperature down to 10 K. This compound exhibits a magnetic transition around 50 K. These data (in combination with complementary neutron powder diffraction data) are expected to evidence if possible structural transitions are associated with magnetic ordering and constitute a unique tool for gaining a correct description of the magnetic structure symmetry by applying representational analysis.
