Magnetic structure of greigite (Fe3S4) probed by neutron powder diffraction and polarized neutron diffraction

[1] We have investigated greigite (Fe3S4) using a combination of neutron powder diffraction and polarized neutron diffraction to give the first unambiguous assignment of its magnetic structure. Our results confirm that greigite has a collinear ferrimagnetic structure with antiferromagnetic coupling between the tetrahedral (A) and octahedral (B) sites. Our analysis also indicates that greigite d...

The Fundamentals of Neutron Powder Diffraction

ii Certain commercial entities, equipment, or materials may be identified in this document in order to describe an experimental procedure or concept adequately.

Crystal structure of (Li0.5K0.5)2C03 by neutron powder diffraction analysis

The crystal structure of (Li0.5K0.5)2C03 was determined by neutron powder diffraction. A final weighted R-factor of 4.54% was obtained for the refinement of 2373 reflections by the Rietveld method from a sample synthesized using 7Li2CO3 and K2CO3 (99.9% pure). Slight distortion of the CO$units in the monoclinic cell was observed; the O( 1)-C-0(2) angle and CO(3) length are larger than those for...

Crystallography of hydrogen-containing compounds: realizing the potential of neutron powder diffraction.

Hydrogen forms more compounds than any other element in the Periodic Table, yet methods for accurately, precisely and rapidly determining its position in a crystal structure are not readily available. The latest generation of high-flux neutron powder diffractometers, operating under optimised collection geometries, allow hydrogen positions to be extracted from the diffraction patterns of polycr...
