Download or read book Diffuse Neutron Scattering from Crystalline Materials written by Victoria M. Nield and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive account of diffuse neutron scattering, a unique tool for determining structural disorder in solids. The text takes the reader through theoretical, computational and experimental developments in the subject and describes in detail its application to a number of structural disorder problems. These include the more traditional subjects of substitutional disorder in alloys and orientational disorder in molecular systems as well as the more recent studies of superior and framework materials. Particular emphasis is placed on recent refinement methods for data interpretation and these are compared with established computer simulation techniques and analytical approaches. The book collects disparate themes into one unique volume, which is written as an introduction to the methods for graduate scientist and as a valuable reference or the expert crystallographer who wishes to apply modern interpretative techniques to diffuse scattering data.

Download or read book Neutron Diffraction written by Irisali Khidirov and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now neutron diffraction is widely applied for the research of crystal, magnetic structure and internal stress of crystalline materials of various classes, including nanocrystalls. In the present book, we make practically short excursion to modern state of neutron diffraction researches of crystal materials of various classes. The book contains a helpful information on a modern state of neutron diffraction researches of crystals for the broad specialists interested in studying crystals and purposeful regulation of their service characteristics, since the crystal structure, basically, defines their physical and mechanical properties. Some chapters of the book have methodical character that can be useful to scientists, interested in possibilities of neutron diffraction. We hope, that results of last years presented in the book, can be a push to new ideas in studying of crystalline, magnetic structure and a macrostructure of usual crystal materials and nanocrystals. In turn, it can promote working out of new materials with new improved service characteristics and to origin of innovative ideas.
Download or read book Neutron Scattering Fundamentals written by Silvia C. Capelli and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the structure of a material is the first essential step in understanding its macroscopic properties. Getting insights of the interatomic and inter/intra-molecular interactions that influence the stability and the chemical behavior of a given compound allows its application in the best possible conditions and opens the way to design new materials with tailored properties. Neutron diffraction is a fundamental tool in structural characterization. Few examples concerning chemical crystallography, will be given to illustrate the properties that make neutrons the ideal probe for locating light atoms in the presence of heavy, electron-rich ones, and accurately determine atomic position and displacement parameters.

Download or read book Towards High Throughput Single Crystal Neutron Diffraction of Hydrogen Bonded Molecular Complexes written by Andrew Jones and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents findings from experiments carried out using the neutron Laue method in tandem with laboratory source X-ray diffraction to characterise a series of organic molecular complexes which exhibit interesting, and potentially "tunable", temperature dependent charge transfer effects, such as proton migration and proton disorder within hydrogen bonded networks. These subtle processes are studied by variable temperature neutron diffraction studies, allowing the positional and anisotropic displacement parameters of the hydrogen atoms to be refined accurately and their evolution with temperature followed. The hydrogen atom behaviour is found to be influenced by the local environment, including weak intermolecular interactions in the vicinity of the hydrogen bond under study. Complexes of urea and methyl substituted ureas with small organic acids are presented, which show robust and reproducible structural motifs. In favourable circumstances, these contain short, strong hydrogen bonds (SSHBs) within which the proton may undergo temperature dependent migration. By synthesising a number of complexes containing SSHBs, potential routes to the design of proton migration complexes are found, which utilise crystal engineering principles and pKa matching. Variable temperature studies conducted on these complexes also show unusual thermal expansion properties and phase transitions in urea-acid complexes which do not display proton migration. Systems containing hydrogen bonded dimers of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid are also studied, and shown to contain temperature proton disorder within moderate strength hydrogen bonds linking the dimers. The presence and potential onset temperature of any disorder is found to be influenced by interactions around the acid dimers and potential routes to controlling proton disorder are discussed. Complexes of the proton sponge, 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)napthalene (DMAN), with organic acids are also presented, in which the structures have been determined using neutron diffraction. DMAN readily accepts a proton from the acid co-molecules used in forming the complexes, forming a strong intramolecular SSHB within the protonated DMAN. Strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds are also induced between the acid molecules in many cases. The neutron studies presented here investigate the effect of weak interactions on the behaviour of hydrogen atoms located within these SSHBs, and also indicate over what distance such interactions significantly affect the hydrogen atom behaviour.

Download or read book Structure from Diffraction Methods written by Duncan W. Bruce and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inorganic materials show a diverse range of important properties that are desirable for many contemporary, real-world applications. Good examples include recyclable battery cathode materials for energy storage and transport, porous solids for capture and storage of gases and molecular complexes for use in electronic devices. An understanding of the function of these materials is necessary in order to optimise their behaviour for real applications, hence the importance of 'structure–property relationships'. The chapters presented in this volume deal with recent advances in the characterisation of crystalline materials. They include some familiar diffraction methods, thoroughly updated with modern advances. Also included are techniques that can now probe details of the three-dimensional arrangements of atoms in nanocrystalline solids, allowing aspects of disorder to be studied. Small-angle scattering, a technique that is often overlooked, can probe both ordered and disordered structures of materials at longer length scales than those probed by powder diffraction methods. Addressing both physical principals and recent advances in their applications, Structure from Diffraction Methods covers: Powder Diffraction X-Ray and Neutron Single-Crystal Diffraction PDF Analysis of Nanoparticles Electron Crystallography Small-Angle Scattering Ideal as a complementary reference work to other volumes in the series (Local Structural Characterisation and Multi Length-Scale Characterisation), or as an examination of the specific characterisation techniques in their own right, Structure from Diffraction Methods is a valuable addition to the Inorganic Materials Series.
