    Facilitated crystal handling using a simple device for evaporation reduction in microtiter plates (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-30
    Description: In the past two decades, most of the steps in a macromolecular crystallography experiment have undergone tremendous development with respect to speed, feasibility and increase of throughput. The part of the experimental workflow that is still a bottleneck, despite significant efforts, involves the manipulation and harvesting of the crystals for the diffraction experiment. Here, a novel low‐cost device is presented that functions as a cover for 96‐well crystallization plates. This device enables access to the individual experiments one at a time by its movable parts, while minimizing evaporation of all other experiments of the plate. In initial tests, drops of many typically used crystallization cocktails could be successfully protected for up to 6 h. Therefore, the manipulation and harvesting of crystals is straightforward for the experimenter, enabling significantly higher throughput. This is useful for many macromolecular crystallography experiments, especially multi‐crystal screening campaigns.

    Cation distribution in Cu2ZnSnSe4, Cu2FeSnS4 and Cu2ZnSiSe4 by multiple‐edge anomalous diffraction (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-30
    Description: Multiple‐Edge Anomalous Diffraction (MEAD) has been applied to various quaternary sulfosalts belonging to the adamantine compound family in order to validate the distribution of copper, zinc and iron cations in the structure. Semiconductors from this group of materials are promising candidates for photovoltaic applications. Their properties strongly depend on point defects, in particular related to cation order–disorder. However, Cu+, Zn2+ and Fe2+ have very similar scattering factors and are all but indistinguishable in usual X‐ray diffraction experiments. Anomalous diffraction utilizes the dependency of the atomic scattering factors f′ and f′′ of the energy of the radiation, especially close to the element‐specific absorption edges. In the MEAD technique, individual Bragg peaks are tracked over an absorption edge. The intensity changes depending on the structure factor can be highly characteristic for Miller indices selected for a specific structural problem, but require very exact measurements. Beamline KMC‐2 at synchrotron BESSY II, Berlin, has been recently upgraded for this technique. Anomalous X‐ray powder diffraction and XAFS compliment the data. Application of this technique confirmed established cation distribution in Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) and Cu2FeSnS4 (CFTS). In contrast to the literature, cation distribution in Cu2ZnSiSe4 (CZSiSe) is shown to adopt a highly ordered wurtz‐kesterite structure type.

    The copper(II)‐binding tripeptide GHK, a valuable crystallization and phasing tag for macromolecular crystallography (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-27
    Description: The growth of diffraction‐quality crystals and experimental phasing remain two of the main bottlenecks in protein crystallography. Here, the high‐affinity copper(II)‐binding tripeptide GHK was fused to the N‐terminus of a GFP variant and an MBP‐FG peptide fusion. The GHK tag promoted crystallization, with various residues (His, Asp, His/Pro) from symmetry molecules completing the copper(II) square‐pyramidal coordination sphere. Rapid structure determination by copper SAD phasing could be achieved, even at a very low Bijvoet ratio or after significant radiation damage. When collecting highly redundant data at a wavelength close to the copper absorption edge, residual S‐atom positions could also be located in log‐likelihood‐gradient maps and used to improve the phases. The GHK copper SAD method provides a convenient way of both crystallizing and phasing macromolecular structures, and will complement the current trend towards native sulfur SAD and MR‐SAD phasing.
    Description: A novel three‐residue tag containing the residues GHK that can be used to promote crystallization and in SAD phasing experiments using its tightly bound copper ion is described. image

    Determining paracrystallinity in mixed‐tacticity polyhydroxybutyrates (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-30
    Description: Recently, the authors reported on the development of crystallinity in mixed‐tacticity polyhydroxybutyrates. Comparable values reported in the literature vary depending on the manner of determination, the discrepancies being partially attributable to scattering from paracrystalline portions of the material. These portions can be qualified by peak profile fitting or quantified by allocation of scattered X‐ray intensities. However, the latter requires a good quality of the former, which in turn must additionally account for peak broadening inherent in the measurement setup, and due to limited crystallite sizes and the possible presence of microstrain. Since broadening due to microstrain and paracrystalline order both scale with scattering vector, they are easily confounded. In this work, a method to directionally discern these two influences on the peak shape in a Rietveld refinement is presented. Allocating intensities to amorphous, bulk and paracrystalline portions with changing tactic disturbance provided internal validations of the obtained directional numbers. In addition, the correlation between obtained thermal factors and Young's moduli, determined in earlier work, is discussed.
    Description: A method to robustly determine paracrystalline contents from Rietveld‐refined powder X‐ray data is presented and discussed for the example of mixed‐tacticity polyhydroxybutyrates. image

    Concepts for nondestructive and depth‐resolved X‐ray residual stress analysis in the near‐surface region of nearly single crystalline materials with mosaic structure (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-27
    Description: Two evaluation concepts for nondestructive depth‐resolved X‐ray residual stress analysis in the near‐surface region of materials with cubic symmetry and nearly single crystalline structure are introduced by simulated examples. Both concepts are based on the same data acquisition strategy, which consists in the determination of lattice‐spacing depth profiles along the ⟨hkl⟩ poles by stepwise sample rotation around the scattering vector. Segmentation of these profiles parallel to the sample surface provides the lattice strain state as a function of depth. The first evaluation concept extends the crystallite group method developed for materials with pronounced crystallographic texture by the feature of depth resolution and can be applied to samples with arbitrary orientation. The second evaluation concept, which adapts the linear regression approach of the sin2ψ method for the case of single crystalline materials, is restricted to samples with (001) orientation. The influence of the strain‐free lattice parameter a0 on residual stress analysis using both evaluation concepts is discussed on the basis of explicitly derived relations.

    X‐ray dichroism in polyimide caused by non‐resonant scattering (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-30
    Description: Dichroism is one of the most important optical effects in both the visible and the X‐ray range. Besides absorption, scattering can also contribute to dichroism. This paper demonstrates that, based on the example of polyimide, materials can show tiny dichroism even far from electronic resonances due to scattering. Although the effect is small, it can lead to a measurable polarization change and might have influence on highly sensitive polarimetric experiments.
    Description: Aligned molecules, for example in polyimide foils, lead to small dichroism even far from resonances, which can be revealed by high‐precision X‐ray polarimetry. image

    Elastic stiffness coefficients of thiourea from thermal diffuse scattering (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-27
    Description: The complete elastic stiffness tensor of thiourea has been determined from thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) using high‐energy photons (100 keV). Comparison with earlier data confirms a very good agreement of the tensor coefficients. In contrast with established methods to obtain elastic stiffness coefficients (e.g. Brillouin spectroscopy, inelastic X‐ray or neutron scattering, ultrasound spectroscopy), their determination from TDS is faster, does not require large samples or intricate sample preparation, and is applicable to opaque crystals. Using high‐energy photons extends the applicability of the TDS‐based approach to organic compounds which would suffer from radiation damage at lower photon energies.

    Fast fitting of reflectivity data of growing thin films using neural networks (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-07-03
    Description: X‐ray reflectivity (XRR) is a powerful and popular scattering technique that can give valuable insight into the growth behavior of thin films. This study shows how a simple artificial neural network model can be used to determine the thickness, roughness and density of thin films of different organic semiconductors [diindenoperylene, copper(II) phthalocyanine and α‐sexithiophene] on silica from their XRR data with millisecond computation time and with minimal user input or a priori knowledge. For a large experimental data set of 372 XRR curves, it is shown that a simple fully connected model can provide good results with a mean absolute percentage error of 8–18% when compared with the results obtained by a genetic least mean squares fit using the classical Parratt formalism. Furthermore, current drawbacks and prospects for improvement are discussed.
    Description: Artificial neural networks trained with simulated data are shown to correctly and quickly determine film parameters from experimental X‐ray reflectivity curves.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-30
    Description: ROBL‐II provides four different experimental stations to investigate actinide and other alpha‐ and beta‐emitting radionuclides at the new EBS storage ring of ESRF within an energy range of 3 to 35 keV. The XAFS station consists of a highly automatized, high sample throughput installation in a glovebox, to measure EXAFS and conventional XANES of samples routinely at temperatures down to 10 K, and with a detection limit in the sub‐p.p.m. range. The XES station with its five bent‐crystal analyzer, Johann‐type setup with Rowland circles of 1.0 and 0.5 m radii provides high‐energy resolution fluorescence detection (HERFD) for XANES, XES, and RIXS measurements, covering both actinide L and M edges together with other elements accessible in the 3 to 20 keV energy range. The six‐circle heavy duty goniometer of XRD‐1 is equipped for both high‐resolution powder diffraction as well as surface‐sensitive CTR and RAXR techniques. Single crystal diffraction, powder diffraction with high temporal resolution, as well as X‐ray tomography experiments can be performed at a Pilatus 2M detector stage (XRD‐2). Elaborate radioprotection features enable a safe and easy exchange of samples between the four different stations to allow the combination of several methods for an unprecedented level of information on radioactive samples for both fundamental and applied actinide and environmental research.

    XGANDALF – extended gradient descent algorithm for lattice finding (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-27
    Description: Serial crystallography records still diffraction patterns from single, randomly oriented crystals, then merges data from hundreds or thousands of them to form a complete data set. To process the data, the diffraction patterns must first be indexed, equivalent to determining the orientation of each crystal. A novel automatic indexing algorithm is presented, which in tests usually gives significantly higher indexing rates than alternative programs currently available for this task. The algorithm does not require prior knowledge of the lattice parameters but can make use of that information if provided, and also allows indexing of diffraction patterns generated by several crystals in the beam. Cases with a small number of Bragg spots per pattern appear to particularly benefit from the new approach. The algorithm has been implemented and optimized for fast execution, making it suitable for real‐time feedback during serial crystallography experiments. It is implemented in an open‐source C++ library and distributed under the LGPLv3 licence. An interface to it has been added to the CrystFEL software suite.

    pinkIndexer – a universal indexer for pink‐beam X‐ray and electron diffraction snapshots (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-27
    Description: A crystallographic indexing algorithm, pinkIndexer, is presented for the analysis of snapshot diffraction patterns. It can be used in a variety of contexts including measurements made with a monochromatic radiation source, a polychromatic source or with radiation of very short wavelength. As such, the algorithm is particularly suited to automated data processing for two emerging measurement techniques for macromolecular structure determination: serial pink‐beam X‐ray crystallography and serial electron crystallography, which until now lacked reliable programs for analyzing many individual diffraction patterns from crystals of uncorrelated orientation. The algorithm requires approximate knowledge of the unit‐cell parameters of the crystal, but not the wavelengths associated with each Bragg spot. The use of pinkIndexer is demonstrated by obtaining 1005 lattices from a published pink‐beam serial crystallography data set that had previously yielded 140 indexed lattices. Additionally, in tests on experimental serial crystallography diffraction data recorded with quasi‐monochromatic X‐rays and with electrons the algorithm indexed more patterns than other programs tested.
    Description: pinkIndexer, an algorithm developed for indexing of snapshot diffraction patterns recorded with pink‐beam X‐rays, monochromatic X‐rays and electrons, is described and its use evaluated. image

    Publication Date: 2021-06-17
    Description: CRM1 is a nuclear export receptor that has been intensively targeted over the last decade for the development of antitumor and antiviral drugs. Structural analysis of several inhibitor compounds bound to CRM1 revealed that their mechanism of action relies on the covalent modification of a critical cysteine residue (Cys528 in the human receptor) located in the nuclear export signal‐binding cleft. This study presents the crystal structure of human CRM1, covalently modified by 2‐mercaptoethanol on Cys528, in complex with RanGTP at 2.58 Å resolution. The results demonstrate that buffer components can interfere with the characterization of cysteine‐dependent inhibitor compounds.

    Staircase array of inclined refractive multi‐lenses for large field of view pixel super‐resolution scanning transmission hard X‐ray microscopy (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-26
    Description: Owing to the development of X‐ray focusing optics during the past decades, synchrotron‐based X‐ray microscopy techniques allow the study of specimens with unprecedented spatial resolution, down to 10 nm, using soft and medium X‐ray photon energies, though at the expense of the field of view (FOV). One of the approaches to increase the FOV to square millimetres is raster‐scanning of the specimen using a single nanoprobe; however, this results in a long data acquisition time. This work employs an array of inclined biconcave parabolic refractive multi‐lenses (RMLs), fabricated by deep X‐ray lithography and electroplating to generate a large number of long X‐ray foci. Since the FOV is limited by the pattern height if a single RML is used by impinging X‐rays parallel to the substrate, many RMLs at regular intervals in the orthogonal direction were fabricated by tilted exposure. By inclining the substrate correspondingly to the tilted exposure, 378000 X‐ray line foci were generated with a length in the centimetre range and constant intervals in the sub‐micrometre range. The capability of this new X‐ray focusing device was first confirmed using ray‐tracing simulations and then using synchrotron radiation at BL20B2 of SPring‐8, Japan. Taking account of the fact that the refractive lens is effective for focusing high‐energy X‐rays, the experiment was performed with 35 keV X‐rays. Next, by scanning a specimen through the line foci, this device was used to perform large FOV pixel super‐resolution scanning transmission hard X‐ray microscopy (PSR‐STHXM) with a 780 ± 40 nm spatial resolution within an FOV of 1.64 cm × 1.64 cm (limited by the detector area) and a total scanning time of 4 min. Biomedical implant abutments fabricated via selective laser melting using Ti–6Al–4V medical alloy were measured by PSR‐STHXM, suggesting its unique potential for studying extended and thick specimens. Although the super‐resolution function was realized in one dimension in this study, it can be expanded to two dimensions by aligning a pair of presented devices orthogonally.
    Description: A new X‐ray focusing device generates hundreds of thousands of line foci, periodically spaced in the sub‐micrometre range, with centimetre length. It enables to achieve large FOV pixel super‐resolution scanning transmission hard X‐ray microscopy. image

    A new concept for temporal gating of synchrotron X‐ray pulses (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-07-02
    Description: A new concept for temporal gating of synchrotron X‐ray pulses based on laser‐induced thermal transient gratings is presented. First experimental tests of the concept yield a diffraction efficiency of 0.18%; however, the calculations indicate a theoretical efficiency and contrast of 〉30% and 10−5, respectively. The full efficiency of the pulse picker has not been reached yet due to a long‐range thermal deformation of the sample after absorption of the excitation laser. This method can be implemented in a broad spectral range (100 eV to 20 keV) and is only minimally invasive to an existing setup.

    The time‐resolved hard X‐ray diffraction endstation KMC‐3 XPP at BESSY II (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-06
    Description: The time‐resolved hard X‐ray diffraction endstation KMC‐3 XPP for optical pump/X‐ray probe experiments at the electron storage ring BESSY II is dedicated to investigating the structural response of thin film samples and heterostructures after their excitation with ultrashort laser pulses and/or electric field pulses. It enables experiments with access to symmetric and asymmetric Bragg reflections via a four‐circle diffractometer and it is possible to keep the sample in high vacuum and vary the sample temperature between ∼15 K and 350 K. The femtosecond laser system permanently installed at the beamline allows for optical excitation of the sample at 1028 nm. A non‐linear optical setup enables the sample excitation also at 514 nm and 343 nm. A time‐resolution of 17 ps is achieved with the `low‐α' operation mode of the storage ring and an electronic variation of the delay between optical pump and hard X‐ray probe pulse conveniently accesses picosecond to microsecond timescales. Direct time‐resolved detection of the diffracted hard X‐ray synchrotron pulses use a gated area pixel detector or a fast point detector in single photon counting mode. The range of experiments that are reliably conducted at the endstation and that detect structural dynamics of samples excited by laser pulses or electric fields are presented.
    Description: The KMC‐3 XPP endstation of the synchrotron BESSY II is dedicated to time‐resolved studies of structural dynamics of matter upon optical and/or electrical excitation using hard X‐ray diffraction with an accessible time range from 17 ps to several microseconds. image

    Disordered sodium alkoxides from powder data: crystal structures of sodium ethoxide, propoxide, butoxide and pentoxide, and some of their solvates (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-27
    Description: The crystal structures of sodium ethoxide (sodium ethanolate, NaOEt), sodium n‐propoxide (sodium n‐propanolate, NaOnPr), sodium n‐butoxide (sodium n‐butanolate, NaOnBu) and sodium n‐pentoxide (sodium n‐amylate, NaOnAm) were determined from powder X‐ray diffraction data. NaOEt crystallizes in space group P421m, with Z = 2, and the other alkoxides crystallize in P4/nmm, with Z = 2. To resolve space‐group ambiguities, a Bärnighausen tree was set up, and Rietveld refinements were performed with different models. In all structures, the Na and O atoms form a quadratic net, with the alkyl groups pointing outwards on both sides (anti‐PbO type). The alkyl groups are disordered. The disorder becomes even more pronounced with increasing chain length. Recrystallization from the corresponding alcohols yielded four sodium alkoxide solvates: sodium ethoxide ethanol disolvate (NaOEt·2EtOH), sodium n‐propoxide n‐propanol disolvate (NaOnPr·2nPrOH), sodium isopropoxide isopropanol pentasolvate (NaOiPr·5iPrOH) and sodium tert‐amylate tert‐amyl alcohol monosolvate (NaOtAm·tAmOH, tAm = 2‐methyl‐2‐butyl). Their crystal structures were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. All these solvates form chain structures consisting of Na+, –O− and –OH groups, encased by alkyl groups. The hydrogen‐bond networks diverge widely among the solvate structures. The hydrogen‐bond topology of the iPrOH network in NaOiPr·5iPrOH shows branched hydrogen bonds and differs considerably from the networks in pure crystalline iPrOH.
    Description: The crystal structures of NaOEt, NaOPr, NaOBu and NaOAm (Am = amyl = pentyl) were determined from powder data. These compounds crystallize in an anti‐PbO structure in the space groups P21m and P4/nmm. Additionally, solvates with the composition NaOEt·2EtOH, NaOPr·2PrOH, NaOiPr·5iPrOH and NaOtAm·tAmOH were synthesized, and their structures were determined from single crystals. They form interesting chain structures of different compositions and topologies. image

    Small‐angle X‐ray scattering from GaN nanowires on Si(111): facet truncation rods, facet roughness and Porod's law (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-27
    Description: Small‐angle X‐ray scattering from GaN nanowires grown on Si(111) is measured in the grazing‐incidence geometry and modelled by means of a Monte Carlo simulation that takes into account the orientational distribution of the faceted nanowires and the roughness of their side facets. It is found that the scattering intensity at large wavevectors does not follow Porod's law I(q) ∝ q−4. The intensity depends on the orientation of the side facets with respect to the incident X‐ray beam. It is maximum when the scattering vector is directed along a facet normal, reminiscent of surface truncation rod scattering. At large wavevectors q, the scattering intensity is reduced by surface roughness. A root‐mean‐square roughness of 0.9 nm, which is the height of just 3–4 atomic steps per micrometre‐long facet, already gives rise to a strong intensity reduction.
    Description: The intensity of small‐angle X‐ray scattering from GaN nanowires on Si(111) depends on the orientation of the side facets with respect to the incident beam. This reminiscence of truncation rod scattering gives rise to a deviation from Porod's law. A roughness of just 3–4 atomic steps per micrometre‐long side facet notably changes the intensity curves. image

    The accuracy of protein models automatically built into cryo‐EM maps with ARP/wARP (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-28
    Description: Recent developments in cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) have enabled structural studies of large macromolecular complexes at resolutions previously only attainable using macromolecular crystallography. Although a number of methods can already assist in de novo building of models into high‐resolution cryo‐EM maps, automated and reliable map interpretation remains a challenge. Presented here is a systematic study of the accuracy of models built into cryo‐EM maps using ARP/wARP. It is demonstrated that the local resolution is a good indicator of map interpretability, and for the majority of the test cases ARP/wARP correctly builds 90% of main‐chain fragments in regions where the local resolution is 4.0 Å or better. It is also demonstrated that the coordinate accuracy for models built into cryo‐EM maps is comparable to that of X‐ray crystallographic models at similar local cryo‐EM and crystallographic resolutions. The model accuracy also correlates with the refined atomic displacement parameters.

    Description: Carbonates containing CO4 groups as building blocks have recently been discovered. A new orthocarbonate, Sr2CO4 is synthesized at 92 GPa and at a temperature of 2500 K. Its crystal structure was determined by in situ synchrotron single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, selecting a grain from a polycrystalline sample. Strontium orthocarbonate crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system (space group Pnma) with CO4, SrO9 and SrO11 polyhedra as the main building blocks. It is isostructural to Ca2CO4. DFT calculations reproduce the experimental findings very well and have, therefore, been used to predict the equation of state, Raman and IR spectra, and to assist in the discussion of bonding in this compound.

    Anomalous SAXS at P12 beamline EMBL Hamburg: instrumentation and applications (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-28
    Description: Small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) is an established method for studying nanostructured systems and in particular biological macromolecules in solution. To obtain element‐specific information about the sample, anomalous SAXS (ASAXS) exploits changes of the scattering properties of selected atoms when the energy of the incident X‐rays is close to the binding energy of their electrons. While ASAXS is widely applied to condensed matter and inorganic systems, its use for biological macromolecules is challenging because of the weak anomalous effect. Biological objects are often only available in small quantities and are prone to radiation damage, which makes biological ASAXS measurements very challenging. The BioSAXS beamline P12 operated by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) at the PETRA III storage ring (DESY, Hamburg) is dedicated to studies of weakly scattering objects. Here, recent developments at P12 allowing for ASAXS measurements are presented. The beamline control, data acquisition and data reduction pipeline of the beamline were adapted to conduct ASAXS experiments. Modelling tools were developed to compute ASAXS patterns from atomic models, which can be used to analyze the data and to help designing appropriate data collection strategies. These developments are illustrated with ASAXS experiments on different model systems performed at the P12 beamline.

    Symmetry relations in wurtzite nitrides and oxide nitrides and the curious case of Pmc21 (2021)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-27
    Description: Binary III–V nitrides such as AlN, GaN and InN in the wurtzite‐type structure have long been considered as potent semiconducting materials because of their optoelectronic properties, amongst others. With rising concerns over the utilization of scarce elements, a replacement of the trivalent cations by others in ternary and multinary nitrides has led to the development of different variants of nitrides and oxide nitrides crystallizing in lower‐symmetry variants of wurtzite. This work presents the symmetry relationships between these structural types specific to nitrides and oxide nitrides and updates some prior work on this matter. The non‐existence of compounds crystallizing in Pmc21, formally the highest subgroup of the wurtzite type fulfilling Pauling's rules for 1:1:2 stoichiometries, has been puzzling scientists for a while; a rationalization is given, from a crystallographic basis, of why this space group is unlikely to be adopted.

    Comparison and evaluation of pair distribution functions, using a similarity measure based on cross‐correlation functions (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-20
    Description: An approach for the comparison of pair distribution functions (PDFs) has been developed using a similarity measure based on cross‐correlation functions. The PDF is very sensitive to changes in the local structure, i.e. small deviations in the structure can cause large signal shifts and significant discrepancies between the PDFs. Therefore, a comparison based on pointwise differences (e.g. R values and difference curves) may lead to the assumption that the investigated PDFs as well as the corresponding structural models are not in agreement at all, whereas a careful visual inspection of the investigated structural models and corresponding PDFs may reveal a relatively good match. To quantify the agreement of different PDFs for those cases an alternative approach is introduced: the similarity measure based on cross‐correlation functions. In this paper, the power of this application of the similarity measure to the analysis of PDFs is highlighted. The similarity measure is compared with the classical Rwp values as representative of the comparison based on pointwise differences as well as with the Pearson product‐moment correlation coefficient, using polymorph IV of barbituric acid as an example.

    Description: The refractive index of a y‐cut SiO2 crystal surface is reconstructed from orientation‐dependent soft X‐ray reflectometry measurements in the energy range from 45 to 620 eV. Owing to the anisotropy of the crystal structure in the (100) and (001) directions, a significant deviation of the measured reflectance at the Si L2,3 and O K absorption edges is observed. The anisotropy in the optical constants reconstructed from these data is also confirmed by ab initio Bethe–Salpeter equation calculations for the O K edge. This new experimental data set expands the existing literature data for quartz crystal optical constants significantly, particularly in the near‐edge regions.

    Unravelling the crystal structure of Nd5.8WO12−δ and Nd5.7W0.75Mo0.25O12−δ mixed ionic electronic conductors (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-07-05
    Description: Mixed ionic electronic conducting ceramics Nd6−yWO12−δ (δ is the oxygen deficiency) provide excellent stability in harsh environments containing strongly reactive gases such as CO2, CO, H2, H2O or H2S. Due to this chemical stability, they are promising and cost‐efficient candidate materials for gas separation, catalytic membrane reactors and protonic ceramic fuel cell technologies. As in La6−yWO12−δ, the ionic/electronic transport mechanism in Nd6−yWO12−δ is expected to be largely controlled by the crystal structure, the conclusive determination of which is still lacking. This work presents a crystallographic study of Nd5.8WO12−δ and molybdenum‐substituted Nd5.7W0.75Mo0.25O12−δ prepared by the citrate complexation route. High‐resolution synchrotron and neutron powder diffraction data were used in combined Rietveld refinements to unravel the crystal structure of Nd5.8WO12−δ and Nd5.7W0.75Mo0.25O12−δ. Both investigated samples crystallize in a defect fluorite crystal structure with space group Fm3m and doubled unit‐cell parameter due to cation ordering. Mo replaces W at both Wyckoff sites 4a and 48h and is evenly distributed, in contrast with La6−yWO12−δ. X‐ray absorption spectroscopy as a function of partial pressure pO2 in the near‐edge regions excludes oxidation state changes of Nd (Nd3+) and W (W6+) in reducing conditions: the enhanced hydrogen permeation, i.e. ambipolar conduction, observed in Mo‐substituted Nd6−yWO12−δ is therefore explained by the higher Mo reducibility and the creation of additional – disordered – oxygen vacancies.
    Description: The crystal structures of non‐substituted and Mo‐substituted neodymium tungstates are described in detail through neutron diffraction and high‐resolution X‐ray diffraction. Combined X‐ray and neutron diffraction refinements and electron probe micro‐analysis were employed to locate Mo atoms in the crystal structure of Nd6−yW1−zMozO12−δ (z = 0, 0.25), while X‐ray absorption spectroscopy in the near‐edge regions confirmed no changes in the oxidation states of Nd and W.

    High‐temperature treatments of niobium under high vacuum, dilute air‐ and nitrogen‐atmospheres as investigated by in situ X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-30
    Description: Niobium metal foils were heat‐treated at 900°C under different conditions and in situ investigated with time‐resolved X‐ray absorption fine‐structure (EXAFS and XANES) measurements. The present study aims to mimic the conditions usually applied for heat treatments of Nb materials used for superconducting radiofrequency cavities, in order to better understand the evolving processes during vacuum annealing as well as for heat treatments in controlled dilute gases. Annealing in vacuum in a commercially available cell showed a substantial amount of oxidation, so that a designated new cell was designed and realized, allowing treatments under clean high‐vacuum conditions as well as under well controllable gas atmospheres. The experiments performed under vacuum demonstrated that the original structure of the Nb foils is preserved, while a detailed evaluation of the X‐ray absorption fine‐structure data acquired during treatments in dilute air atmospheres (10−5 mbar to 10−3 mbar) revealed a linear oxidation with the time of the treatment, and an oxidation rate proportional to the oxygen (air) pressure. The structure of the oxide appears to be very similar to that of polycrystalline NbO. The cell also permits controlled exposures to other reactive gases at elevated temperatures; here the Nb foils were exposed to dilute nitrogen atmospheres after a pre‐conditioning of the studied Nb material for one hour under high‐vacuum conditions, in order to imitate typical conditions used for nitrogen doping of cavity materials. Clear structural changes induced by the N2 exposure were found; however, no evidence for the formation of niobium nitride could be derived from the EXAFS and XANES experiments. The presented results establish the feasibility to study the structural changes of the Nb materials in situ during heat treatments in reactive gases with temporal resolution, which are important to better understand the underlaying mechanisms and the dynamics of phase formation during those heat treatments in more detail.

    Description: High‐pressure single‐crystal to 20 GPa and powder diffraction measurements to 50 GPa, show that the structure of Pb2SnO4 strongly distorts on compression with an elongation of one axis. A structural phase transition occurs between 10 GPa and 12 GPa, with a change of space group from Pbam to Pnam. The resistivity decreases by more than six orders of magnitude when pressure is increased from ambient conditions to 50 GPa. This insulator‐to‐semiconductor transition is accompanied by a reversible appearance change from transparent to opaque. Density functional theory‐based calculations show that at ambient conditions the channels in the structure host the stereochemically‐active Pb 6s2 lone electron pairs. On compression the lone electron pairs form bonds between Pb2+ ions. Also provided is an assignment of irreducible representations to the experimentally observed Raman bands.

One of the front‐runner systems under consideration is ZnSnN2. Although it is nominally a ternary compound, no clear crystallographic evidence for cation ordering has been observed so far. An attempt to elucidate this discrepancy [Quayle (2020). Acta Cryst. A76, 410–420] was the trigger for an intensive discussion between the authors, and an agreement was reached to elaborate on some points in order to set things in perspective. Rather than using a conventional comment–answer scheme, this is published in the form of a joint discussion to celebrate constructive criticism and collegiality.

    Publication Date: 2021-06-26
    Description: X‐SPEC is a high‐flux spectroscopy beamline at the KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) Synchrotron for electron and X‐ray spectroscopy featuring a wide photon energy range. The beamline is equipped with a permanent magnet undulator with two magnetic structures of different period lengths, a focusing variable‐line‐space plane‐grating monochromator, a double‐crystal monochromator and three Kirkpatrick–Baez mirror pairs. By selectively moving these elements in or out of the beam, X‐SPEC is capable of covering an energy range from 70 eV up to 15 keV. The flux of the beamline is maximized by optimizing the magnetic design of the undulator, minimizing the number of optical elements and optimizing their parameters. The beam can be focused into two experimental stations while maintaining the same spot position throughout the entire energy range. The first experimental station is optimized for measuring solid samples under ultra‐high‐vacuum conditions, while the second experimental station allows in situ and operando studies under ambient conditions. Measurement techniques include X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and hard X‐ray PES (HAXPES), as well as X‐ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and resonant inelastic X‐ray scattering (RIXS).

    Structure determination of organic compounds by a fit to the pair distribution function from scratch without prior indexing (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-26
    Description: A method for the ab initio crystal structure determination of organic compounds by a fit to the pair distribution function (PDF), without prior knowledge of lattice parameters and space group, has been developed. The method is called `PDF‐Global‐Fit' and is implemented by extension of the program FIDEL (fit with deviating lattice parameters). The structure solution is based on a global optimization approach starting from random structural models in selected space groups. No prior indexing of the powder data is needed. The new method requires only the molecular geometry and a carefully determined PDF. The generated random structures are compared with the experimental PDF and ranked by a similarity measure based on cross‐correlation functions. The most promising structure candidates are fitted to the experimental PDF data using a restricted simulated annealing structure solution approach within the program TOPAS, followed by a structure refinement against the PDF to identify the correct crystal structure. With the PDF‐Global‐Fit it is possible to determine the local structure of crystalline and disordered organic materials, as well as to determine the local structure of unindexable powder patterns, such as nanocrystalline samples, by a fit to the PDF. The success of the method is demonstrated using barbituric acid as an example. The crystal structure of barbituric acid form IV solved and refined by the PDF‐Global‐Fit is in excellent agreement with the published crystal structure data.

    Structural basis of chitin utilization by a GH20 β‐N‐acetylglucosaminidase from Vibrio campbellii strain ATCC BAA‐1116 (2021)

    Publication Date: 2021-07-01
    Description: Vibrio species play a crucial role in maintaining the carbon and nitrogen balance between the oceans and the land through their ability to employ chitin as a sole source of energy. This study describes the structural basis for the action of the GH20 β‐N‐acetylglucosaminidase (VhGlcNAcase) in chitin metabolism by Vibrio campbellii (formerly V. harveyi) strain ATCC BAA‐1116. Crystal structures of wild‐type VhGlcNAcase in the absence and presence of the sugar ligand, and of the unliganded D437A mutant, were determined. VhGlcNAcase contains three distinct domains: an N‐terminal carbohydrate‐binding domain linked to a small α+β domain and a C‐terminal (β/α)8 catalytic domain. The active site of VhGlcNAcase has a narrow, shallow pocket that is suitable for accommodating a small chitooligosaccharide. VhGlcNAcase is a monomeric enzyme of 74 kDa, but its crystal structures show two molecules of enzyme per asymmetric unit, in which Gln16 at the dimeric interface of the first molecule partially blocks the entrance to the active site of the neighboring molecule. The GlcNAc unit observed in subsite −1 makes exclusive hydrogen bonds to the conserved residues Arg274, Tyr530, Asp532 and Glu584, while Trp487, Trp546, Trp582 and Trp505 form a hydrophobic wall around the −1 GlcNAc. The catalytic mutants D437A/N and E438A/Q exhibited a drastic loss of GlcNAcase activity, confirming the catalytic role of the acidic pair (Asp437–Glu438).

    Description: The resolution function of a spectrometer based on a strongly bent single crystal (bending radius of 10 cm or less) is evaluated. It is shown that the resolution is controlled by two parameters: (i) the ratio of the lattice spacing of the chosen reflection to the crystal thickness and (ii) a single parameter comprising crystal thickness, its bending radius, distance to a detector, and anisotropic elastic constants of the chosen crystal. The results allow the optimization of the parameters of bent‐crystal spectrometers for the hard X‐ray free‐electron laser sources.

    Separation of the inelastic and elastic scattering in time‐of‐flight mode on the pinhole small‐angle neutron scattering diffractometer KWS‐2 (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-09-29
    Description: To study and control the incoherent inelastic background in small‐angle neutron scattering, which makes a significant contribution to the detected scattering from hydrocarbon systems, the KWS‐2 small‐angle neutron scattering diffractometer operated by the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) at Heinz‐Maier Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ), Garching, Germany, was equipped with a secondary single‐disc chopper that is placed in front of the sample stage. This makes it possible to record in time‐of‐flight mode the scattered neutrons in the high‐Q regime of the instrument (i.e. short incoming wavelengths and detection distances) and to discard the inelastic component from the measured data. Examples of measurements on different materials routinely used as standard samples, sample containers and solvents in the experiments at KWS‐2 are presented. When only the elastic region of the spectrum is used in the data‐reduction procedure, a decrease of up to two times in the incoherent background of the experimentally measured scattering cross section may be obtained. The proof of principle is demonstrated on a solution of bovine serum albumin in D2O.
    Description: A new chopper has been installed at the sample position in front of the sample stage at the KWS‐2 small‐angle neutron‐scattering diffractometer of the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science. The pulsed beam and the time‐of‐flight data acquisition enable the separation of elastic and inelastic scattering from hydrogenous samples.

    Czochralski growth of mixed cubic sesquioxide crystals in the ternary system Lu2O3–Sc2O3–Y2O3 (2021)
    International Union of Crystallography | 5 Abbey Square, Chester, Cheshire CH1 2HU, England
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-09-29
    Description: Cubic rare‐earth sesquioxide crystals are strongly demanded host materials for high power lasers, but due to their high melting points investigations on their thermodynamics and the growth of large‐size crystals of high optical quality remain a challenge. Detailed thermal investigations of the ternary system Lu2O3–Sc2O3–Y2O3 revealing a large range of compositions with melting temperatures below 2200°C and a minimum of 2053°C for the composition (Sc0.45Y0.55)2O3 are presented. These reduced temperatures enable for the first time the growth of high optical quality mixed sesquioxide crystals with disordered structure by the conventional Czochralski method from iridium crucibles. An (Er0.07Sc0.50Y0.43)2O3 crystal is successfully grown and characterized with respect to its crystallographic properties as well as its composition, thermal conductivity and optical absorption in the 1 µm range.
    Description: The phase diagram of the ternary system Lu2O3–Sc2O3–Y2O3 is investigated and compositions with melting points below 2200°C are found. This allows for the first successful growth of the mixed cubic sesquioxide crystal (Er0.07Sc0.50Y0.43)2O3 by the Czochralski method from an iridium crucible. image

    An impurity-doped crystal plate as an X-ray monochromator (1980)

    Notes: To increase the integrated reflexion intensity of a monochromating crystal, the strain distributed due to impurity introduction can be utilized and, compared with conventional mechanical processing, can be a more controllable method. From this viewpoint, numerical computations on the dynamical diffraction theory for distorted crystals have been performed for the 220 reflexion of Cu Kα X-rays by Si crystals with several different strain distributions; the one changing linearly with depth from −10−3 at the surface to zero at 28 μm depth gives the maximum integrated intensity within the restriction that the full width of the intensity profile is 100′′. The integrated intensity in this case is 5.3 and 4.5 times as strong as that of a perfect crystal plate for σ and π polarizations respectively. It is more enhanced for shorter wavelengths, e.g. nine times for Mo Kα. In addition, that intensity profiles for distributed strains are cut sharply at both ends is certainly favourable for the purpose of monochromating white X-rays. A preliminary experiment with an intentionally processed sample showed a fourfold intensity increase for a σ-polarized Cu Kα line with a full width of 80′′.

    Notes: The device described here has been designed to perform microcreep experiments and, simultaneously, to get X-ray topographic images of the sample. Such dynamic experiments are now possible with white synchrotron radiation (LURE-DCI Orsay). The sample material, germanium, is hard to machine; so a simple shape was chosen (rectangular platelet 20 × 5 × 0–2 mm). The grip system is quite simple and the whole assembly is compact enough to be adapted to fit a standard goniometer head. Temperatures as high as 923 K in air and forces up to few tens of Newtons can be reached. The first experiments on Ge bicrystals have shown the device to perform as expected.

    Assessment of synchrotron electron-beam damage in diamond by optical, cathodoluminescence and X-ray topographic methods (1980)

    Notes: A polished plate of type Ia natural diamond, containing regions which had been bombarded by electrons of energy between 2.0 and 4.5 GeV to total doses of 1̃024 electrons m−2 in polarized-photon production experiments, was examined, both before and after annealing at 1133 K for 8 h, using birefringence, cathodoluminescence photography and spectroscopy, X-ray topography and a novel method for mapping differences of interplanar spacing; `dilatation topography'. The annealing effected some reduction of overall strain, but it also generated an enhancement of diffraction contrast and cathodoluminescence at certain grown-in defects that the specimen contained. By means of dilatation topographs, interplanar spacings in a region of maximum electron-beam damage were compared with those in least-damaged regions some millimetres away. In the case of (110) planes that had been grazed by the electron beam, the maximum relative expansion, Δd/d, in damaged regions so found was reduced from 1.2 × 10−3 to 0.9 × 10−3 by the annealing. Evidence was obtained that the magnitude of expansion in the region of maximum damage was dependent upon crystallographic direction. Criteria are suggested for selection of diamonds to be used in polarized-photon production experiments.

By means of this arrangement it is possible to measure strains and compute stresses in single crystals and in separate crystals of a bicrystal or a coarse-grained polycrystalline specimen. The available rotations also make it possible to investigate residual macrostresses and textures in polycrystalline specimens. Results of the test measurements on a tensile specimen of a molybdenum single-crystal are given.

    Notes: A calculation of γ(r), the correlation function which gives the X-ray scattering of a cubic object of uniform density, is given for the full range of r. A new method, which can be applied to other systems, is used. The function γ(r) and its first derivative are everywhere continuous, but γ′′(r) is discontinuous at r = L and r = L□2 (L = cube edge length). This leads to an intersect distribution of unexpected shape. The scattering intensity as a function of angle is calculated by Fourier inversion of γ(r).

    Notes: An experimental method is described which enables the inelastically scattered X-ray component to be removed from diffractometer data prior to radial density function analysis. At each scattering angle an energy spectrum is generated from a Si(Li) detector combined with a multi-channel analyser from which the coherently scattered component is separated. The data obtained from organic polymers has an improved signal/noise ratio at high values of scattering angle, and a commensurate enhancement of resolution of the RDF at low r is demonstrated for the case of PMMA (ICI `Perspex'). The method obviates the need for the complicated correction for multiple scattering.

    Notes: A niobium tungsten bronze crystal with a nominal composition 3 Nb2O5.8WO3 gives circular diffuse scattering in the electron diffraction pattern. The diffuse rings change shape and size when the crystal is reduced at high temperature. The observations are explained by improving the cluster model proposed by De Ridder, Van Tendeloo, Van Dyck & Amelinckx [Phys. Status Solidi A (1977), 41, 555–560]; the present clusters are composed of nine pentagonal-tunnel sites. The 1 MV high-resolution electron microscope images reveal that the clusters have several different atomic arrangements and compositions. The relation between the clusters and the micro-domains, formed in the initial stage of long-range ordering, is clarified.

    Notes: The amount of information which can be obtained from a small-angle X-ray experiment can be considerably increased by orienting the solute particles with external forces during the scattering experiment. In this paper it is shown that orientation by flow, for instance through a capillary tube, gives additional information about size, shape, flexibility and rotational diffusion of the particles. The only requirement, in order to obtain flow-oriented samples, is that the solute particles must be relatively large and asymmetric. On the other hand, if the scattering curve is dependent on the flow rate through the capillary, it can immediately be concluded that the solute particles are asymmetric (or they are deformed in the hydrodynamic field). Equations describing the relationship between flow rate, molecular shape and scattered intensity are given, and theoretical intensity patterns for some representative cases are presented. It follows that there is a fundamental difference in scattering patterns for oblate and prolate ellipsoids of revolution. This difference can be used to differentiate between these two cases. Some experimental results obtained using inorganic model colloids are presented.

    Notes: There has recently been an increased amount of interest in laboratory equipment for extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) measurements. In an earlier paper a facility for performing such measurements easily in a few hours was described in some detail. In this paper, further development of the techniques is reported. The use of high-power rotating-anode X-ray generator, the design of an X-ray curved-crystal spectrometer, the factors governing the proper choice of monochromator crystals and the design of fast-counting detectors and electronics are discussed. In addition, it is shown how errors caused by characteristic lines in the spectrum can be eliminated by use of a flux stabilization circuit.

    Notes: Photographic neutron intensity measurements on a 2 mm3 single-crystal of triclinic lysozyme are compared with conventional neutron diffractometer data. The reflections were recorded with the oscillation technique. The structure factors were derived from the optical densities scanned by an automatic microdensitometer and processed by computer programs. A statistical analysis shows that the photographic data are of about the same accuracy as recently collected diffractometer data. For the same flux and crystal volume the data collection time is reduced by up to two orders of magnitude.

    Notes: A device is described which uses liquid nitrogen to generate a cold or hot gas stream which is blown directly onto the crystal mounted on an X-ray diffractometer. With a specially constructed high-vacuum (〈 1.3 × 10–5 Pa) jacketed silica Dewar tube, it can operate between 83 and 1120 K with a stability over long time periods of ± ¼ K below and ± 1 K above ambient temperature. In the latter case the short-time stability is ± ¼ K for hours. It gives an inert atmosphere at elevated temperatures and allows extensive data collection for the accurate determination of crystal structures. The evaporator, the automatic refilling system and the silica Dewar tube are described.

Linear equations describing the thermal expansion of the two phases of ferric molybdate are reported. To verify if ferric molybdate can incorporate excess MoO3, measurements on non-stoichiometric samples were also made: no evidence of the presence of excess MoO3 was found.

    Characteristics of a flat multiwire area detector for protein crystallography (1981)

    Notes: A flat, relatively thin (9 mm) xenon-filled multiwire proportional counter with two-dimensional, 2 μs delay line readout of a 270 × 300 mm active area has been developed for use as a position-sensitive area X-ray detector in the 8 keV energy region (Cu Kα) used in crystallographic structure work with large biological molecules. Its quantum detection efficiency for 8 keV X-ray photons is about 0.5, a value which is spatially uniform to within ± 2%. Its dead-time loss fraction at a typical data collection rate of 30000 photons s−1 is 12%. The detector has spatial resolution for X-rays of 0.6 mm FWHM in the horizontal direction and 2 mm, the anode wire spacing, in the vertical direction. The effects of parallax are found to be limited and do not seriously increase the apparent size of the diffracted beams. The position sensitivity of this detector is geometrically linear to within 0.5 mm across its active surface. Routine maintenance of the detector requires the attention of a skilled technician but is not time consuming. For four years, this detector has been used to measure millions of reflection intensities from crystals of many different proteins. The down time due to the detector has averaged less than four days per year, considerably less than the down time of other components of the data collection system. Four new protein structures have now been solved using data from this detector. Also, a considerable amount of data have been collected at higher resolution or at different temperatures with crystals of other proteins.

    The use of cell and symmetry information for single-crystal orientation on diffractometers (1981)

    Notes: The diffraction aspect and rough cell parameters of a crystal to be studied are usually known before mounting the crystal on a diffractometer. Such data are used for orientation purposes in the method described. An ordered list of indexed 2θ values is calculated from which an optimum 2θ for a peak search is derived. The peaks found are centered, their possible unique indices are derived by comparison of the observed 2θ values with the calculated values. Two intense reflections with few indexing ambiguities are selected to define the crystal orientation. Their possible pairs of indices are found by considering combinations of indices related to the unique indices by the Laue-group symmetry and for which the calculated angle between the reciprocal vectors is comparable with the observed angle. Only the non-equivalent orientations defined by these initial pairs will be accepted. An initial pair will be rejected if the indices of both reflections can be transformed into those of a previously accepted pair by a single Laue-group symmetry operator of the first kind. The correct setting is usually obvious from a very short list of possible orientations and is retained. This simple approach has been programmed and treats all symmetries without branching of the logic. Rhombohedral crystals can be referred to hR or rP cells. The possible non-equivalent settings due to metric ambiguities, to pseudo-symmetry or to symmetry are exhaustively listed, but no symmetry-related setting is indicated. This scheme has automatically oriented more than 40 crystals from the seven crystal systems in 20–50 min each. The wavelength, the cell parameters and the short symbol of a valid space group in the correct diffraction aspect are the only input.

Forty-seven variables, including anisotropic temperature-factor coefficients, were refined with a profile-fitting procedure to R(profile) = 2.10% and R(Rietveld) = 3.53%. Positional and thermal parameters are in good agreement with those determined from recent X-ray and neutron single-crystal diffraction experiments. Results suggest that powder data can be used to obtain accurate positional parameters and reasonable temperature factors for moderately complex structures.

    Notes: A Kratky small-angle X-ray camera was modified so as to allow the use of a one-dimensional (one-dimensional) position-sensitive detector (PSD) with it. The modification was designed in such a way that most of the calibrations, necessary for subsequent correction of the collected intensity data, can be performed with little alteration in the collimation geometry or the electronics settings. In particular, the calibration of the uniformity of detector efficiency can be performed by repeated vertical travel of the detector at a constant speed across a beam scattered from a sample.

    Notes: A computer program for the separation of a composite peak into the components and the background has been written in Fortran. Each component is approximated by a function of the form y(x) = c [1 + ({{x - d}\over{e}})^{2}]^{-f}, where c, d, e and f are the parameters to be determined by a least-squares method. Arbitrary, known or assumed relations among the parameters of different components may be read in to reduce the number of independent parameters and save computation time or, in other cases, to offer a better chance of separating a complex composite peak by varying a subset of the parameters.

The domain may be limited by planes situated half-way between the atoms, or at a distance that takes into account the relative radii of the atoms. Data concerning this domain and the corresponding coordination polyhedron are computed and printed. Punched cards, to be used in a special plotting program, can also be produced. Three types of weighted coordination number are calculated.

    Notes: Intensity can often be measured as a continuous function of scattering angle in diffraction from non-crystalline specimens. An analysis of the amount of information contained in one-dimensional continuous diffraction data is presented here. This analysis, based on the sampling theorem and the theory of entire functions, indicates that there is a limited but often rather large number of possible phase solutions to any given continuous intensity distribution. A refinement technique has been developed which allows phase solutions to be found that are consistent with the diffraction data and with other physical and chemical data. In favourable cases, when diffraction data is used in coordination with other kinds of data, there can be enough information in a diffraction pattern to identify a unique structural solution.

    Notes: A small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) spectrometer has been constructed at the University of Missouri Research Reactor Facility (MURR). The design of the MURR–SANS is unusual in that the size of the reactor containment building constrains the flight path to be vertical. This is achieved by Bragg scattering upward through 90° from a set of slightly misaligned pyrolytic graphite crystals to provide a neutron beam at 4.75 Å with a wavelength spread of approximately 4.1%. The beam incident on the sample is defined by two matched variable apertures located either 3.0 or 4.5 m apart. The evacuated scattered flight path is designed with removable extensions to match the primary flight path in length. The instrument has an automatic sample handling capability provided by its own dedicated PDP 11/03 computer. The detector is a large assembly of commercially available linear 3He detectors as an economic alternative to a crossed-wire two-dimensional multi-detector. An array of 43 position-sensitive proportional counters, 24 in (609.6 mm) long and 0.5 in (12.7 mm) in diameter, using charge division gives a spatial resolution of 5 x 12.7 mm. The area-averaged detector efficiency is about 84% at a wavelength of 4.75 Å. The range of scattering vectors that can be measured is 0.005 〈 Q〈 0.15 Å−1. The instrument is well suited to a wide variety of experiments on specimens having characteristic dimensions between 20 and 500 Å. MURR–SANS is designed as a user-oriented facility which provides both reasonable resolution and intensity on sample at a modest cost, and forms part of a neutron scattering center.

    Notes: Two-dimensional antiphase domain structures existing in the composition range 20–23 at.% Mn were investigated by a high-resolution structure-imaging technique with a 1 MV electron microscope. The structures are based on the DO22 structure and consist of parallelogram-shaped domains containing 4 × 3 columns of Mn atoms and lozenge-shaped domains with 4 × 4 and 3 × 3 columns, and the domains are separated by two-dimensional antiphase boundaries parallel to the ({\bar 2}40) and (240) planes of the fundamental face-centred structure. The configuration of the domains changes delicately with a slight change of composition or annealing temperature, and the symmetry of the structure is lowered below about 670 K. The ideal structure models have compositions of about 22.7 at.% Mn. The images of about half of the specimen area of the 22.6 at.% Mn alloy annealed at 570 K do not correspond to these new structures, but bear a resemblance to the image expected from the two-dimensional antiphase structure proposed by Watanabe [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn (1960), 15, 1030–1040] for Au3Mn, which is based on the L12 structure and has boundaries parallel to the (100) and (010) planes.

(1968), A24, 126–136] but, for a given precision, Authier, Malgrange & Tournarie's method is faster than Taupin's so the former will usually be preferred for numerical calculation.

The wavenumber which receives maximal amplification and the scattering intensity corresponding to this wavenumber were determined as a function of the cooling rate of the glass. The experimental results qualitatively agree with the main features of previous calculations based on the linear theory of spinodal decomposition, but no quantitative agreement is obtained.

    Notes: An analysis of published X-ray diffraction data from nerve myelin is given based on the properties of analytic functions. Functions defined by a finite Fourier transform may be described by their distribution of zeros. This description allows a phase function to be determined from real data, which is unique in principle. A solution to the phase assignment is given and compared with corresponding published solutions derived by other methods. The strong measure of agreement for the phases of the first nine diffraction orders, and the stability of this agreement against the efforts of experimental error, leads to the conclusion that these phases are probably correct.

    A method of determining cubic parameters suited to the conditions of high- and low-temperature powder diffractometry (1982)

    Notes: A method of measuring accurate cubic lattice parameters is developed which is suited to the type of conditions encountered in high- and low-temperature powder diffractometry. This is based on the fact that the absolute Bragg angle of each line in an indexed cubic diffraction pattern can be determined from a knowledge of the differences in angles between lines. Accurate zero-angle alignment, therefore, is unnecessary. Furthermore, it is shown that the peak or centroid shift of the line profiles arising from the instrumental and physical aberrations can be determined directly from the measured angular data without assuming a specific angular dependence. In practice the accuracy of the method is of the order of 0.0002 Å for a lattice parameter of approximately 8 Å.

    Notes: Calculations of diffraction line profiles and Scherrer constants for crystallites whose external shape has cubic symmetry are extended to crystallites of cylindrical shape. The analysis includes the limiting cases of acicular crystals and disks and, to a reasonable degree of approximation in many cases, to hexagonal prisms. These shapes have applications in size determination for materials which form prismatic crystallites, particularly those which belong to the hexagonal system or have been derived from substances with this symmetry.

    Notes: The Warren–Averbach profile analysis was modified to study the deformed state of Al. The X-ray diffraction effect of dislocations locating on cell boundaries may be treated as `size broadening', while that of dislocations inside cells is `strain broadening', which may be treated with Wilkens's theory. X-ray Debye profile measurement was performed on deformed, recovered and annealed samples of commercial pure Al. Some information concerning the dislocation glide systems and distribution as well as the differences between the deformed and recovered state were given by the Debye profile analysis. The results are in good agreement with those obtained by other authors, which prove the reliability and correctness of the method.

    Notes: The extended structure of the Pt L3 X-ray absorption edge for some platinum compounds was measured and Fourier inverted. It is shown that the way in which the contribution of the isolated atom is subtracted from the absorption spectrum may influence the shape of the first peak in the Fourier transform and possibly lead to erroneous structural interpretations concerning the first-neighbour shell of the absorbing atom. These errors are the more important the smaller the separation between the absorbing atom and its nearest neighbours. An improved method of subtraction of the isolated-atom absorption is proposed and checked.

    Notes: The crystal structure of Ta5P3 has been refined from Guinier–Hägg X-ray powder film data [Malmros & Thomas (1977). J. Appl. Cryst. 10, 7–11] using positional parameters from its structural isomorph Nb5P3 as starting values. The space group is orthorhombic Pnma (No. 62), with refined cell parameters a = 25.3210 (4), b = 3.4013 (1), c = 11.4614 (2) Å, V = 987.12 (5) Å3 and Z = 4. Final R = 4.9% [comparable with the R(F) of single-crystal work]. The structure exhibits the triangular prismatic Ta coordination about the P atoms and the dense packing of the Ta atoms, both familiar in many metal-rich phases formed between transition metals and non-metals of type P, As, S and Se.

    Notes: In the paper Revised and new crystal data for indium selenides by Popovic, Tonejc, Grzeta-Plenkovic, Celustka & Trojko [J. Appl. Cryst. (1979), 12, 416–420] it was concluded that P6122 or P6522 was the probable space group of the second high-temperature, γ, phase of In2Se3. Also, in the paper Phases, lattice parameters and thermal expansion of (GaxIn1−x)2Se3, 1 ≥ x ≥ 0, between room temperature and melting point by Tonejc, Popovic & Grzeta-Plenkovic [J. Appl. Cryst. (1980), 13, 24– 30] the same space groups were suggested for the phase γ1, existing in the In-rich region. However, the space group in both cases should be P61 or P65. This is in agreement with the work of Likforman, Carré & Hillel [Acta Cryst. (1978), B34, 1 5] who solved the crystal structure of one of the forms of In2Se3, and with the work of Schulte-Kellinghaus & Krämer [Acta Cryst. (1979), B35, 3016 3017] who solved the crystal structure of AlInS3. Likforman, Carré & Hillel [Acta Cryst. (1978), B34, 1 5] call their phase the low-temperature form of In2Se3.

    Notes: Changes in the microporosity of several types of Brazilian high-ash coals have been analyzed by small-angle X-ray scattering as a function of thermal treatment. Pore size, determined using Guinier plots, decreased following thermal treatment of the samples. The modification of porosity induced by thermal treatment was similar for high-ash and low-ash coals, from which it may be inferred that mineral content is not a determining factor in the process of pore formation. Internal surface area for the samples was calculated with SAXS data. A correlation is established between the internal surface area values obtained and the carbon content and heat-treatment temperatures of the samples.

    Notes: Crystal data for the series of piperazinium bis(n-alkanoates) of the type 2[CxH2x − 1O2−] [C4H12N22+] for x = 1 to 16 are presented. Most of these compounds have triclinic unit cells whose dimensions, obtained from single-crystal work, have been used to index their powder diagrams. The a ({\bar a} = 5.718 Å) and b ({\bar b} = 7.481 Å) cell dimensions remain nearly constant while the c dimension and the volume of the unit cell increase linearly with x, the number of carbon atoms in the alkanoate anion. Presumably the aliphatic sequence in the alkanoate anion adopts the fully extended conformation and lies in the bc plane and nearly along the c direction.

No evidence of a red-to-orange phase transition could be found.

    Notes: Total neutron scattering data were collected on sputtered YFe2 at 298 K and TbFe2 at 423 K with a wavelength of 0.7 Å. The TbFe2 data were collected above the magnetic ordering temperature of 383 K. In addition, the elastic neutron scattering of TbFe2 was measured with the use of a pyrolytic graphite analyzer at a wavelength of 1.5 Å, and its total X-ray scattering was measured with Mo radiation and a silicon-lithium drifted detector. Experimental radial distribution functions, with statistical error limits, were calculated. Errors due to an incorrect background, scaling of the data and termination effects were minimized. The scale and shape of the experimental background and the coordination numbers, internuclear distances and disorder parameters, for the first six coordination spheres, have been determined. The contribution of paramagnetic inelastic scattering from TbFe2 to the total neutron scattering is quite appreciable. The shape of the background scattering, which goes through a maximum, is indicative of residual coherence and suggests short-range magnetic ordering where neighboring atom spins are aligned. These effects are not observed in YFe2, nor in the elastic TbFe2 data. The metallic glasses have a structural topology which is quite different from that found in their crystalline analogues. The transition-metal substructure, consisting of corner-sharing tetrahedra, is the only aspect of the crystalline topology preserved in the amorphous phase. The structural parameters suggest a tendency of the rare-earth atoms to cluster, thereby decreasing the number of Fe nearest neighbors relative to the crystalline structure.

    Notes: By using data from the Wallace & Ward [J. Appl. Cryst. (1975), 8, 255–260] cylindrical texture camera integrated with other traditional X-ray powder film techniques for very low and very high diffraction angles, a new high-temperature modification of CeO2 was identified and indexed resulting in a trigonal or hexagonal unit cell with a = 8.36(2) and c = 10.42(2) Å, (axial ratio 1.264) and Z = 16. The new phase is an oxidation product of CeO2-doped hot-pressed silicon nitride. It can be quenched to room temperature under appropriate conditions. Its stability on reheating is strictly related to its interaction with the silicate phase.

    Notes: Multiple electron scattering between weak beams has been used as the basis for a simple method to determine the absolute polarity of some non-centrosymmetric crystals. For crystals with the sphalerite structure many orientations have been found in which small departures from centrosymmetry produce large effects on the convergent-beam diffraction patterns (microdiffraction). The effects are reasonably independent of thickness and so can be analyzed qualitatively without the use of computers.

The method is derived from the orientation matrix together with the operation of crystal rotation. It is shown that this method facilitates the procedures in the experimental method for phase determination.

    Notes: Three members of a new family of phases, Li3Mg2XO6: X = Nb, Ta, Sb, have been prepared by solid-state reaction of MgO and Li3XO4. Unit-cell parameters of Li3Mg2TaO6 determined by electron diffraction and refined by X-ray powder diffraction are a = 8.883(2), b = 5.802(2), c = 17.437(6) Å, with space group Fddd; z = 8. Powder diffraction data of Li3Mg2NbO6 and Li3Mg2SbO6 were indexed by analogy with those of Li3Mg2TaO6 and unit-cell dimensions obtained by least-squares refinement: Li3Mg2NbO6 a = 8.552(2), b = 5.897(1), c = 17.721(5) Å; Li3Mg2SbO6 a = 8.614 (1), b = 5.908(1), c = 17.759(5) Å.

    Etude cristallographique de la phase de transition M'' dans Al–8%Zn–1%Mg (1982)

    Notes: The structure of the transition phase M′ in AlZnMg alloys has been studied by Buerger X-ray precession photographs and transmission electron microscopy. The M′ phase, also called η′ or R, has a hexagonal or pseudo-hexagonal cell with a = 4.96, c = 14.03 Å. It is confirmed that M′ precipitates are hexagonal platelets with the following epitaxy: (00.1)M′//(111)Al and |10.0|M′//1{\bar 1}0|Al. It is shown that none of the known models of the unit cell accounts for the observed scattered intensities.

    Accurate separation of X-ray α1–α2 doublets by the `substitution method' (1982)

    Notes: An improved `substitution method' for the separation of X-ray diffraction α1−α2 doublets is based on the possibility of refining both the proportionality constant between the α1 and α2 contributions to the line intensity and the doublet separation expressed in terms of the diffraction angle or of a related variable in the reciprocal space. Optimization of these two parameters, with a proper evaluation of the error, clearly shows the statistical nature of the oscillations appearing on the high-angle side of the pure α1 component after correction; their elimination by polynomial smoothing can therefore be performed and a procedure is suggested for achieving this result. A computer program, based on these principles, has been written and tested in many practical cases.

    Time-of-flight neutron small-angle scattering from a superconducting composite wire (1982)

    Notes: The precipitation behavior in the Ti–27at.%Nb–6at.%Ta–6at.%Zr alloy aged at 643 K was examined by means of time-of-flight neutron small-angle scattering. When the alloy was aged, fine-scale α precipitates appeared. During the precipitation process, each precipitate grew in size, but the total number of precipitates remained nearly constant up to 1 Ms of ageing. The increase of critical superconducting current density could be connected with increasing size of α precipitates. The specimen for the measurements consisted of a composite containing 3721 filaments in a copper matrix. The use of neutrons was shown to give great advantages for the investigation of precipitation phenomena.
