Oxides: neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We shall review some results from several areas of oxide science in which neutron scattering and X-ray synchrotron scattering exercise a complementary role to high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The very highresolution time-of-flight neutron diffraction technique and its role in studies of the magnetic structure of oxides will especially be reviewed. The selected topics of structural studies for the chosen oxides are: crystal and magnetic structure of the so-called cellular random systems, magnetic structure and phase transitions in ferrites and the behaviour of water in non-stoichiometric protonic conductors and in the opal silica-water system.

Hydrogen Storage in light complex Hydrides – structural studies
The most important unsolved problem for the introduction of the Hydrogen Economy is efficient and safe storage of hydrogen. Alanates, compounds based on the AlH4 unit, are among the most promising metal hydrides for reversible hydrogen storage. The storage capacity is large, e.g. NaAlH4 can release 5.6 wt% hydrogen below 200 C. Work during the last years has revealed that Ti additives improve t...
متن کاملDetection of breast cancer using non-invasive X-ray diffraction technique of hair: A preliminary study
Background: An early diagnosis of breast cancer relates directly to an accurate treatment plan and strategy. Early detection of breast cancer before its development would be a significant reduction of morbidity and mortality rates. The aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the sensitivity of Wide Angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD) method on women hair samples of healthy and breast cancer...

We report a study of single-crystal Raman scattering, powder synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction as well as specific heat for the layered compound K2Na[Ag(CN)2]3 in the temperature range 2–300 K. Analysis of the Raman scattering data provides evidence for structural changes at approximately 210 K. Synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder diffraction results indicate essential, gradual changes...
متن کاملStructure determination of low-alkali-content Na2S + B2S3 glasses using neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction
The structures of low-alkali-content xNa2S + (1 x)B2S3 (x 6 0.2) glasses have been studied by neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Similar results were obtained both in neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments. One significant difference, however, is that with the higher resolution obtainable in the X-ray atomic distribution function data, the peak at 1.8 Å splits into two co...

The perovskite structure is one of the most versatile structures for tailoring the properties of materials. The range of properties of perovskites varies from superconductivity to ferroelectricity, magnetoresistance to magnetocapacitance, and laser host properties to name a few. In particular, the perovskite oxides have been explored for their dielectric and magnetic properties. Traditionally, ...
