Single‐crystal neutron diffraction in diamond anvil cells with hot neutrons

It is demonstrated that it is possible to perform single‐crystal measurements in diamond anvil cells (DACs) with a monochromatic beam at modern hot neutron sources that offer the benefit of short neutron wavelengths with high fluxes. A piston–cylinder DAC with conical Boehler–Almax diamonds that all...

Description
Summary:It is demonstrated that it is possible to perform single‐crystal measurements in diamond anvil cells (DACs) with a monochromatic beam at modern hot neutron sources that offer the benefit of short neutron wavelengths with high fluxes. A piston–cylinder DAC with conical Boehler–Almax diamonds that allows for a wide accessibility of the reciprocal space has been developed. The diffraction data collected in this cell using hot neutrons are of very good quality and can be used for a full and reliable structure refinement. It is shown that it is possible to perform single‐crystal measurements in diamond anvil cells with a monochromatic beam at modern hot neutron sources. The data are of very good quality and can be used for a full and reliable structure refinement.
