Characterizing crystalline defects in single nanoparticles from angular correlations of single-shot diffracted X-rays

Christoph Bostedt

Characterizing and controlling the uniformity of nanoparticles is crucial for their application in science and technology because crystalline defects in the nanoparticles strongly affect their unique properties. Recently, ultra-short and ultra-bright X-ray ...

Adsorbate-induced lattice deformation in IRMOF-74 series

Berend Smit, Davide Tiana

IRMOF-74 analogues are among the most widely studied metal-organic frameworks ( MOFs) for adsorption applications because of their one-dimensional channels and high metal density. Most studies involving the IRMOF-74 series assume that the crystal lattice i ...

Recycling of hydrated cement pastes by synthesis of alpha'(H)-C2S

Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, Ricardo Javier Serpell Carriquiry

Hardened cement paste in concrete wastes can be a valuable precursor material for the production of recycled cements. In the reported study, X-ray diffraction data of cementitious materials obtained by thermal processing of hardened pastes were quantitativ ...

'Seeing' Atoms: The Crystallographic Revolution

Dieter Schwarzenbach

Laue's experiment in 1912 of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals led to one of the most influential discoveries in the history of science: the first determinations of crystal structures, NaCl and diamond in particular, by W. L. Bragg in 1913. For the fir ...

The existence of amorphous phase in Portland cements: Physical factors affecting Rietveld quantitative phase analysis

Karen Scrivener, Ruben Anton Snellings, Amélie Bazzoni

Rietveld quantitative phase analysis has become a widespread tool for the characterization of Portland cement, both for research and production control purposes. One of the major remaining points of debate is whether Portland cements contain amorphous cont ...

The Influence of the Ammonolysis Temperature on the Photocatalytic Activity of beta-TaON

Michael Graetzel, Takashi Hisatomi

Phase-pure tantalum oxynitride (beta-TaON) powders were synthesized by thermal ammonolysis of Ta2O5 powders. X-ray diffraction revealed an enlargement of the unit cell and an increase of the crystallite size with increasing ammonolysis temperature. Scannin ...
