Nanocluster formation in electron-irradiated Li2O crystals observed by elastic diffuse neutron scattering.

چکیده
Previous work performed on electron-irradiated Li2O crystals has demonstrated the simultaneous formation of two populations of colloids of metallic lithium, one is associated with oxygen bubbles and a typical size of >10 microm, while the other one consists of nanoclusters in the range of <10 nm. In the present neutron scattering investigation these small colloids are characterized in detail based on a thorough analysis of distortion scattering around Bragg peaks. It is shown that the small lithium colloids are slightly elongated precipitates with typical dimensions of around approximately 5 nm. For the large lithium colloids a well-defined orientation relation with respect to the Li2O matrix has been determined.

Neutron scattering is proved to be a vital probe in unveiling the magnetic properties of high temperature superconductors (HTSC). Detailed information about the energy and momentum dependence of the magnetic dynamics of HTSC have been obtained directly by this technique. Over the past decade by improving the crystal growth methods, large and high quality single crystals of HTSC, which are ess...
متن کاملLattice and continuum theories of Huang scattering
The predicted x-ray and neutron scattering by random semiconductor alloys A1−xBxC with the zinc-blende structure has been analysed using direct simulation of the scattering from the atoms in the lattice, and also using a continuum theory. This initial work focuses on the special case of the single-impurity limit (small concentration x) where the elastic properties of both of the pure crystals (...
متن کاملPretransitional diffuse neutron scattering in the mixed perovskite relaxor K1ÀxLixTaO3
Several previous studies of K12xLixTaO3 ~KLT! have revealed the presence, above the structural transition, of polar nanoregions. Recently, these have been shown to play an essential role in the relaxor behavior of KLT. In order to characterize these regions, we have performed a neutron-scattering study of KLT crystals with different lithium concentrations, both above and below the critical conc...
متن کاملIncommensurate phase of quartz : I. Elastic neutron scattering
2014 We report on elastic neutron scattering results showing that the intermediate phase of quartz existing in a 1.3 K range between the 03B1 and 03B2 phases is in fact incommensurate. Six satellites are observed around most Bragg peaks along the three [100] directions of reciprocal space. The modulation corresponds to the superposition of sinusoidal plane waves as no higher order harmonics are...
