    Description: Petroleum systems located at passive continental margins received increasing attention in the last decade mainly because of deep- and ultra‐deep-water hydrocarbon exploration and production. The high risks associated with these settings originate mainly from the poor understanding of inherent geodynamic processes. The new priority program SAMPLE (South Atlantic Margin Processes and Links with onshore Evolution), established by the German Science Foundation in 2009 for a total duration of 6 years, addresses a number of open questions related to continental breakup and post‐breakup evolution of passive continental margins. 27 sub‐projects take advantage of the exceptional conditions of the South Atlantic as a prime “Geo‐archive.” The regional focus is set on the conjugate margins located east of Brazil and Argentina on one side and west of Angola, Namibia and South Africa on the other (Figure 1) as well as on the Walvis Ridge and the present‐day hotspot of Tristan da Cunha. The economic relevance of the program is demonstrated by support from several petroleum companies, but the main goal is research on fundamental processes behind the evolution of passive continental margins.

    Description: The Arctic changes rapidly in response to global warming and is expected to change even faster in the future (IPCC 2001, 2007, 2013). Large areas of the shelves and continental slopes bordering the Arctic Ocean are characterized by permafrost and the presence of gas hydrates. Future global warming and potential hydrate dissociation in the Arctic Ocean challenge the slope stability of these areas. This may lead to slope failures. The first, and so far only reported, large-scale slope failure in the Arctic Ocean is the Hinlopen/Yermak Megaslide (HYM), which is located in front of the Hinlopen glacial trough north of Svalbard. During cruise MSM31 onboard the German R/V MARIA S. MERIAN we investigated this giant slope failure and the deeper structure of the Sophia Basin in detail to elucidate the potential causes of the main and following failure events as well as to test existing hypotheses on the generation of this giant submarine landslide. We studied the megaslide and the adjacent so far not failed shelf areas by means of multibeam swath bathymetry, Parasound sediment echo sounder, low- and high-resolution multichannel seismic reflection profiling. The seismic data image bottom-simulating reflectors beneath not failed areas of the slope, as well as a buried gas escape pipe. On the shelf, shallower than the gas hydrate stability zone, we observed widespread gas seepage as flares in the Parasound echo sounder data. These flares rise from a seafloor highly disturbed by iceberg scouring. Therefore, we could not identify pockmarks in the multibeam data. At one location, we sampled a flare by means of a CTD probe close to the seafloor and proofed that the emanating gas has a high methane concentration. The new data indicate that the existence of gas and gas hydrates beneath the shelf north of Svalbard was one key factor causing slope instability in the past and may also cause further slope failures in the future.

    Description: The modern polar cryosphere reflects an extreme climate state with profound temperature gradients towards high-latitudes. It developed in association with stepwise Cenozoic cooling, beginning with ephemeral glaciations and the appearance of sea ice in the late middle Eocene. The polar ocean gateways played a pivotal role in changing the polar and global climate, along with declining greenhouse gas levels. The opening of the Drake Passage finalized the oceanographic isolation of Antarctica, some 40 Ma ago. The Arctic Ocean was an isolated basin until the early Miocene when rifting and subsequent sea-floor spreading started between Greenland and Svalbard, initiating the opening of the Fram Strait / Arctic-Atlantic Gateway (AAG). Although this gateway is known to be important in Earth’s past and modern climate, little is known about its Cenozoic development. However, the opening history and AAG’s consecutive widening and deepening must have had a strong impact on circulation and water mass exchange between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic. To study the AAG’s complete history, ocean drilling at two primary sites and one alternate site located between 73°N and 78°N in the Boreas Basin and along the East Greenland continental margin are proposed. These sites will provide unprecedented sedimentary records that will unveil (1) the history of shallow-water exchange between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic, and (2) the development of the AAG to a deep-water connection and its influence on the global climate system. The specific overarching goals of our proposal are to study: (1) the influence of distinct tectonic events in the development of the AAG and the formation of deep water passage on the North Atlantic and Arctic paleoceanography, and (2) the role of the AAG in the climate transition from the Paleogene greenhouse to the Neogene icehouse for the long-term (~50 Ma) climate history of the northern North Atlantic. Getting a continuous record of the Cenozoic sedimentary succession that recorded the evolution of the Arctic-North Atlantic horizontal and vertical motions, and land and water connections will also help better understanding the post-breakup evolution of the NE Atlantic conjugate margins and associated sedimentary basins.

    Notes: New methods of diffraction stress analysis of polycrystalline materials, consisting of cubic elastically anisotropic crystallites, are proposed and compared with existing methods. Whereas for the existing methods knowledge of the diffraction elastic constants is presupposed, three new methods are presented that require only knowledge of the (macroscopic) mechanical elastic constants. The stress values obtained with these new methods on the basis of the mechanical elastic constants are more reliable than those obtained with the methods on the basis of the diffraction elastic constants. New and existing methods are illustrated by means of measurements of X-ray diffraction from a magnetron-sputtered TiN layer.

    Notes: Three-dimensional structure determination using electron diffraction of crystalline samples necessitates the determination of the Eulerian angles of tilted samples. For experimental tilt series, even with approximately known tilt, the resolution of the final three-dimensional reconstructions is reduced as a result of the large errors of the refined tilt angles and crystal axes positions. The presented new least-squares procedure determines the orientation of the crystal with very high accuracy from a single electron diffraction pattern. Instead of evaluating the averaged pattern geometry, each diffraction spot position is individually included in an analytical non-linear fit. This procedure is very stable against potential experimental errors, as demonstrated by Monte Carlo simulations. As a test sample, a three-dimensional microcrystal of an organic crystal compound was used. Contrary to the conventional method, which produced erroneous Miller indices for some reflections, the indexing obtained with the new algorithm was more consistent for each individual pattern. Preliminary data from frozen hydrated protein crystals, the samples of which are beam sensitive and for which only a few patterns can be recorded from a single crystal, indicate that the new angle determination promises to be particularly beneficial under such conditions.

    Notes: Based on the analysis of geometric relations, it is found that the amplitude of the distortion of the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of a peak after smoothing is the largest among the distortions of the seven parameters of a peak: maximum intensity, FWHM, shape, asymmetry, integral intensity, peak position and integral width. Hence the FWHM distortion is used as a criterion of smoothing. The 1% and 5% error limits of smoothing are calculated. Quadratic and quartic polynomial Savitzky–Golay filters are compared. Aberrations of an X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak caused by using double, matched, 1.5 and 0.7 FWHM filters are described in more detail by means of the analyses of internal and external factors. It is found that the smoothing-induced distortions of an actual XRD peak trend towards those of ideal curves. The distortions are classified according to three types of peak. A possible method to obtain the actual peak parameters, called `system smoothing refinement', is presented.

    Notes: Despite advances in computer technology, computing in macromolecular crystallography keeps pace in its demand for CPU power. Improvements in CPU speed, together with advances in computing methods that depend on it, often translate into the possibility to solve structures that would otherwise require additional experiments. Programs for data reduction, molecular-replacement programs employing multidimensional searches on a grid in real, Patterson or reciprocal space, and phasing and refinement programs, currently have, among others, the highest requirements for CPU power. For these and other programs, speed-up of calculations as a result of parallel execution on multiprocessor computers is possible. This paper outlines the use of the OpenMP programming interface and reports its successful application for parallelization of ESSENS [Kleywegt & Jones (1997). Acta Cryst. D53, 179–185] and SHELXL [Schneider & Sheldrick (1997). Methods Enzymol. 277, 319–343]. Parallel computing, which is possible as a result of the inherent parallelism of crystallographic algorithms, extends the range of problems in macromolecular crystallography that programs can be applied to and can significantly reduce the time required for progressing from a data set to a refined model.

    Notes: The Pm\bar{3}m to R\bar{3}c high-pressure transition of NbO2F has been studied in detail using diamond anvil cells and synchrotron X-ray radiation. The transition starts at 0.28 GPa and is complete at 0.65 GPa. The bulk modulus for the cubic phase became 24.8 (11) GPa, which is roughly two times higher than for the rhombohedral phase.

    Notes: LAPODS is an upgraded version of the program LAPOD for the refinement of lattice parameters using the method of Cohen [Langford (1971). J. Appl. Cryst. 4, 259–260]. The improved version has a number of advanced features. It can detect the most significant systematic errors automatically by means of a statistical F test; it can also operate in a manual mode with corrections set by the user or input manually. The single-value decomposition (SVD) method is used so that the refinement is now more stable. The general formula to calculate the specimen-transparency error has been incorporated and a transparency correction can now be made when the absorption is intermediate between the limiting cases of `thick' or `thin' samples.

    Notes: The structure of colloidal particles can be studied with small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS). In the case of randomly oriented systems, the indirect Fourier transformation (IFT) is a well established technique for the calculation of model-free real-space information. Interaction leads to an overlap of inter- and intraparticle scattering effects, preventing most detailed interpretations. The recently developed generalized indirect Fourier transformation (GIFT) technique allows these effects to be separated by assuming various models for the interaction, i.e. the so-called structure factors. The different analytical behaviour of these structure factors from that of the form factors, describing the intraparticle scattering, allows this separation. The mean-deviation surface is defined by the quality of the fit for different parameter sets of the structure factor. Its global minimum represents the solution. The former non-linear least-squares approach has proved to be inefficient and not very reliable. In this paper, the incorporation of the completely different Boltzmann simplex simulated annealing (BSSA) algorithm for finding the global minimum of the hypersurface is presented. This new method increases not only the calculation speed but also the reliability of the evaluation.

    Notes: A synchrotron radiation X-ray powder diffractometer for samples of very small amount has been developed to collect high-quality diffraction patterns under extreme conditions, i.e. at low temperature and/or high pressure. A new cylindrical imaging plate (CIP) is used as a detector, in addition to a conventional flat-type imaging plate (FIP). By using the CIP system, the diffraction data in a diffraction angle range −44 ≤ 2θ ≤ 122° are collected with a dynamic range of about 106. The alignment of the diffractometer, measurement and analysis are automatically operated by a workstation. A performance test shows that the CIP system has spatial resolution of about 0.07° with a dynamic range of 106. The diffraction pattern of a standard sample of Si measured by the CIP system has high quality; the refinement of the structure reaches Rw = 3.68% even in the case of a small amount of sample (about 2 µg) and a short exposure time (60 s). Examples of experiments at low temperatures under ambient and high pressures are also presented.

    Notes: An experimental method of measurement of the subtle changes of structure of metal nanocrystals occurring on chemisorption of oxygen, interaction with inert gas and hydrogen, etc., is proposed. The measured patterns and their evolution are interpreted via atomistic simulations. Described are quantitative observations of the changes in peak position, intensity and half width of the 111 diffraction peak of a palladium catalyst caused by modifying the gaseous environment. The results of the measurements are in line with an atomistic model proposed earlier and prove that the measured average lattice constant of palladium clusters evolves according to their surface relaxation. The evolution of the measured peak intensity suggests surface ordering effects and was used to propose a detailed structural model of nanocrystalline metal particles. The transition of palladium into β-Pd-H in hydrogen under normal conditions was used as a structure probe and provided evidence for the presence of icosahedral clusters in a highly dispersed catalyst. The icosahedral phase is not significantly modified under hydrogen atmosphere and does not transform into the β hydride.

    Notes: A waveguide microdiffraction setup is described for an undulator beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The composite optics consists of a waveguide, which confines the beam vertically, and a horizontally focusing multilayer mirror. A beam size of about 0.1 × 3 µm (vertical × horizontal) at λ = 0.095 nm has been obtained. The sample stage comprises a three-axis gantry with micrometre precision and a three-axis piezo-scanner with about 0.1 µm repeatability. Diffraction experiments are demonstrated for selected inorganic and polymeric samples. Possibilities for scanning diffractometry and small-angle scattering experiments are discussed.

    Notes: Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements have been performed on long-flight-path pinhole-collimation SANS instruments using, as a two-dimensional position-sensitive detector, both a neutron imaging plate, incorporating gadolinium, and a two-step transfer method, with dysprosium foil as the image transfer medium. The measurements are compared with corresponding data taken using conventional position-sensitive gas proportional counters on the SANS instruments in order to assess the viability of the imaging techniques. The imaging plates have pixel sizes of about two orders of magnitude smaller than those of the gas proportional counter. The reduced pixel size provides definite advantages over the gas counter in certain specific situations, namely when limited space necessitates a short sample-to-detector distance, when only small samples (comparable in size to the detector pixels) are available, or when used in conjunction with focusing beam optics.

    Notes: Nacrite has been intercalated with two polar organic molecules: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and N-methylacetamide (NMA). The homogeneous nacrite complexes have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The XRD study is based on a comparison between experimental and calculated patterns. The structures of the intercalated compounds have been determined, including the mutual positions of the layers after intercalation and the positions of the intercalated molecules in the interlayer space. It has been shown that the intercalation process causes not only a swelling of the interlayer space but also a shift in the mutual in-plane positions of the layers. This shift depends on the nature of the intercalated molecules and is related to their shape and the hydrogen bonds which are established with the surrounding surfaces. For a given molecule, the intercalation process is the same for the different polytypes of the kaolinite family. These XRD results are consistent with those of IR spectroscopy.

    Notes: Nanometre-sized particles are of considerable current interest because of their special size-dependent physical properties. Debye–Scherrer diffraction patterns are often used to characterize samples, as well as to probe the structure of nanoparticles. Unfortunately, the well known `Scherrer formula' is unreliable at estimating particle size, because the assumption of an underlying crystal structure (translational symmetry) is often invalid. A simple approach is presented here which takes the Fourier transform of a Debye–Scherrer diffraction pattern. The method works well on noisy data and when only a narrow range of scattering angles is available.

    Notes: A novel high-precision X-ray diffractometer for structural studies of crystal surfaces and interfaces is presented. In the construction of this instrument, separate detector and sample circles were adopted. This arrangement allows either horizontal or vertical sample geometries to be combined with a variety of sample chambers. The base of the diffractometer is a hexapod with six hydraulic telescopic struts, which confer six degrees of freedom on the platform. This design replaces the conventional stack of translation and rotation stages for aligning the sample with the X-ray beam. An innovative fast control and data acquisition system eliminates the dead time associated with reorienting a conventional diffractometer. With this new system, the time it takes to perform angular scans is limited only by the available counting rate.

    Notes: A new method of analysing X-ray peak broadening caused by local tilt distribution in mosaic structures is proposed for double-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. In the new method, the dependence of whole peak profiles on various reflection indices hkl is analysed, whereas that of only the peak full width at half-maximum (FWHM) is analysed in a conventional broadening analysis. The theoretical formula tells us that not only the FWHM values but also the whole profiles become independent of hkl after rescaling the horizontal axis Δθ of measured patterns to Δθ/cosθc, where θc is the angle between the (001) and (hkl) planes. A new criterion is proposed to judge whether X-ray peak broadening is caused by the local tilt distribution or not; the advantage provided by the new criterion, using whole peak profiles, is high accuracy in making this judgment. It is experimentally verified that the hkl independence holds in terms of whole peak profiles. The advantage of the method is demonstrated experimentally by applying it to InAsP/InGaAsP strained layer superlattice samples.

    Notes: An analytical expression for the small-angle neutron scattering intensity of diluted systems of polydisperse spherical particles, with diffusion zones, embedded in a matrix is presented. It is used within a nonlinear regression procedure to analyse small-angle neutron scattering experiments with polarized neutrons on an Fe73.5Si15.5B7CuNb3 alloy. The results for the nuclear and magnetic scattering length densities allow verification of the inhibitor concept introduced for the explanation of the limited sizes of precipitates developing during nanocrystallization. In the case of amorphous Fe73.5Si15.5B7CuNb3 alloy, the observed nanocrystals of the Fe3Si type are surrounded by an Nb-enriched shell, which stops the growth of the precipitates. With the results of polarized neutron scattering experiments, it is shown that magnetic and nuclear small-angle neutron scattering signals have the same origin. Additionally, the precision of the fits is improved by complementary use of polarized neutrons.

The hyperparameters most frequently needed are the overall noise level of the experiment and the maximum dimension of the scatterer. Bayesian methods allow the posterior probability distribution for the hyperparameters to be determined, making it possible to calculate the distance distribution function of interest as the weighted mean of all possible solutions to the indirect transformation problem. Consequently no choice of hyperparameters has to be made. The applicability of the method is demonstrated using simulated as well as real experimental data.

    Notes: Magnetic small-angle neutron scattering experiments were performed on nanostructured Fe, Co and Ni samples of varying grain size, produced by inert-gas condensation. The experiments show that the spontaneous spatial magnetic correlations forming in zero-field extend over many individual grains. These correlations depend strongly on grain size. In Fe, they have a minimum at a grain size of around 35 nm and increase sharply for smaller grain sizes. The crossover occurs at grain sizes comparable with Lcrit = πδ, where δ is the bulk domain-wall width. For grain sizes below Lcrit, the results are explained on the basis of the random-anisotropy model, which takes into account that the magnetic alignment between the grains competes with the anisotropies of the individual grains. Above Lcrit, where domain walls can form within one grain, the magnetization direction corresponds to the anisotropy direction varying from grain to grain, and the magnetic correlation length increases approximately linearly with grain size. Furthermore, the measurements on Fe, Co and Ni show that the spatial magnetic correlations measured by SANS are always larger than Lcrit. This is in agreement with results of theoretical studies showing that nonuniform magnetization configurations can only exist in grains with sizes D 〉 Lcrit.

    Notes: Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements of deuteride formation and decomposition in single crystal Pd have been performed. The purpose of this work was to determine and compare the particle morphology during deuteride precipitation and reversion, with the overall goal of developing a model for the pressure hysteresis known to exist in the Pd-H system. Anisotropic Porod scattering at low Q was observed as the samples were driven well into the two-phase region from either solid solution (the α →α' transformation) or from 100% α' (the 'α →α reversion). This scattering is attributed to the formation of large, presumably semi-coherent or completely incoherent, tens-of-microns thick plates on well-defined habit planes. The orientation and dispersion of these larger plates was different for deuteride formation and decomposition: a very coarse dispersion on the {110}α habit plane developed during deuteride formation, while a much finer dispersion on the {100}α' habit plane occurred during deuteride reversion from the 100% deuteride phase. The latter orientation is consistent with the system selecting the habit plane orthogonal to the softest host direction to minimize the elastic accommodation energy of the precipitates. We suspect the {110}α' habit plane observed during deuteride formation is related to large over-pressure loading conditions. An isotropic SANS response from plates with thicknesses of 20 to 30 Å was also observed during deuteride formation and reversion. These plates are thought to act as (coherent) precursors to the large plate formation.

    Notes: The crystal structure of monoclinic KGd(WO4)2 (KGW) has been refined at room temperature by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The unit-cell parameters are a = 10.652 (4), b = 10.374 (6), c = 7.582 (2) Å, β = 130.80 (2)°, with Z = 4, in space group C2/c. The linear thermal expansion tensor has been determined and the principal axes are [302], [010] and [106]. The principal axis with maximum thermal expansion (\boldalpha'_{33} = 23.44 × 10−6 K−1), {\bf X}'_{3}, was located 12° from the c axis. Undoped crystals of KGW and crystals that were partially doped by Pr, Nd, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb were grown by the top-seeding-solution growth slow-cooling method. The effect of doping on the KGW structure was observed in the cell parameters and in morphological changes. The changes in parameters follow the changes in lanthanide ionic radii. The doped crystals show {021} and {\bar{2}21} faces in addition to the {110}, {\bar{1}11}, {010}, {130} and {310} faces which basically follow the habit of the undoped KGW crystals. The development of the faces is related to the number of the most important periodic bond chains parallel to them.

    Notes: Small-angle X-ray scattering experiments reveal the formation of large-scale structures when a 60 wt% poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)–water mixture is cooled to 260 K. The formation of these structures leads to an enhancement of continuous small-angle scattering with decreasing temperature. This is accompanied by the appearance of sharp Bragg peaks that have a very short lifetime. The scattering angles of these peaks are in accordance with a hexagonal columnar structure. It appears that such structures occasionally live long enough to undergo rotational Brownian motion.

    Notes: Analysis of the atomic arrangement in anhydrous aminoguanidinium hexafluorozirconate, CN4H8ZrF6, reported by Bukvetskii, Gerasimenko & Davidovich [Koord. Khim. (1990), 16, 1479–1484], led to the prediction that it is a new ferroelectric [Abrahams, Mirsky & Nielson (1996). Acta Cryst. B52, 806–809]. Initial attempts to verify the prediction were inconclusive because of the variety of closely related materials produced under the original preparation conditions. Clarification of these conditions led to the formation of pure CN4H8ZrF6 and the growth of single crystals with dimensions as large as 7 × 7 × 2 mm. Highly reproducible calorimetric and dielectric permittivity anomalies reveal the Curie temperature Tc = 383 (1) K. At this temperature, the heat capacity Cp exhibits an entropy change of 0.7 (1) J mol−1 K−1, while the relative permittivity εr exhibits an inflection and the dielectric loss a distinct peak; the dielectric anomaly at Tc is observed only at the lowest (0.1–1 kHz) frequencies used. Dielectric hysteresis is demonstrable at 295 K under the application of ∼1 MV m−1 alternating fields and remains observable at all T 〈 Tc but not at T ≥ Tc; the prediction of ferroelectricity is hence confirmed. The value of the spontaneous polarization Ps is 0.45 (9) × 10−2 C m−2 at 298 K, with piezoelectric coefficient d33 = 1.9 (5) pC N−1 and pyroelectric coefficient p3 = 4 (1) µC m−2 K−1. Tilts of less than ∼11° by the two symmetry-independent CN4H{}_{8}^{2+} ions, combined with rotations of ∼20° or less by the N—NH3 and C—(NH2)2 groups about the central C—N bond in each cation, as all H atoms rotate into or become symmetrically distributed about the planes at z = 0 or ½, allow them to conform to mirror symmetry via polar atomic displacements of ∼0.4 Å or less by N or C, and of 0.7 Å or less by H. Corresponding displacements of less than 0.08 Å within the two symmetry-independent ZrF{}_{6}^{2-} anions also result in mirror symmetry, satisfying the structural criteria required for the development of ferroelectricity.

    Notes: Global indicators of the quality of diffraction data are presented and discussed, and are evaluated in terms of their performance with respect to various tasks. Based on the results obtained, it is suggested that some of the conventional indicators still in use in the crystallographic community should be abandoned, such as the nominal resolution dmin or the merging R factor Rmerge, and replaced by more objective and more meaningful numbers, such as the effective optical resolution deff,opt and the redundancy-independent merging R factor Rr.i.m.. Furthermore, it is recommended that the precision-indicating merging R factor Rp.i.m. should be reported with every diffraction data set published, because it describes the precision of the averaged measurements, which are the quantities normally used in crystallography as observables.

    Notes: The first chromatic hard X-ray interferometer with a large and variable path length difference has been built and successfully tested. Interference fringe visibility was measured as a function of the path length difference. Based on the measurements, fringe visibility analysis was performed to give the transmitted beam coherence lengths. The results agree very well with expected coherence values based on the angular and spectral acceptances of the interferometer.

    Notes: Applications of R_2 in small-molecule crystallography are described. Ways of using R_2 to evaluate initial models of a structure are discussed. These models, obtained from Patterson methods, are usually small. They may include one or more heavy atoms and pseudosymmetry is sometimes present in the model. The R_2 criterion is used also to identify misplaced atoms prior to the start of the expansion process. Finally, R_2 is used during structure expansion by the application of phase refinement or Fourier methods. Details of the procedures of extension, as well as the role of R_2 therein, are presented and evaluated. Results obtained with various test structures are discussed.

    Notes: Thermal neutron transmission measurements have been made as a function of wavelength on a pyrolytic graphite monochromator crystal that has been set to diffract a horizontal beam at different take-off angles. The major dips in the transmission caused by the various reflections have been identified. These results can be used for the design of a beamline on which more than one instrument is placed. The transmission data show that it is best for the monochromator with the greatest (horizontal) take-off angle to be placed upstream, with monochromators with decreasing take-off angles progressively further downstream. The order of instruments for which the wavelength is greater than 0.43 nm is unimportant.

    Notes: Some improvements are proposed for the statistical analysis of orientation data within individual grains, in particular by allowing for crystallographic symmetries. A method based on quaternions is then presented to characterize orientation spreads including anisotropic effects. Based on this approach, some analyses of disorientation distributions (orientation distribution functions, disorientation noise and the description of sub-boundary disorientation) are reconsidered. The analysis is illustrated by a practical application to the microtextures of a hot deformed aluminium alloy crystal.

    Notes: An X-ray powder profile analysis of vanadium pentoxide powder milled in a high-energy vibrational ball-mill is presented. The strain- and size-induced broadening of the Bragg reflection for two different crystallographic directions ([001] and [100]) were determined by Warren–Averbach (WA) analysis, using a pattern-decomposition method assuming a pseudo-Voigt function. The deformation process causes a decrease in the domain size, and a near isotropic saturation value of ∼10 nm is reached after severe milling. The initial stages of milling produce a propensity for size broadening, whereas, with increasing milling time, microstrain broadening is predominant. WA analysis indicated significant plastic strain along with spatial confinement of the internal strain fields, probably in the crystallite interfaces. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a drastic change in particle shape after 64 h of milling, indicating the existence of size anisotropy which, however, decreased with further increase of the milling time.

    Notes: A new development in the determination of residual stresses in thin surface layers and coatings is presented. The procedure, based on the grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction geometry (referred to here as the `g-sin2 ψ' geometry), enables non-destructive measurement at a chosen depth below the sample surface. The penetration depth of the X-ray radiation is well defined and does not change during the experiment. The method is particularly useful for the analysis of non-uniform stresses in near-surface layers. The g-sin2 ψ geometry was applied for measurements of the residual stresses in TiN coatings. Anisotropic diffraction elastic constants of textured material were used to determine the stress value from the measured lattice strains. A new method of data treatment enables reference-free measurements of residual stresses.

    Notes: A neutron Laue diffraction experiment on a complex of concanavalin A with methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside extensively soaked in D2O (space group I213, a = 167.8 Å), which resulted in 3.5 Å diffraction data, is described. In a programme of structural studies of crystalline saccharide complexes of concanavalin A, the unit cell of the cubic I213 complex of concanavalin A with methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside is one of the largest. With its cell edge of 167.8 Å and its asymmetric unit of molecular weight 50 kDa, it represents a challenge for current neutron diffraction technology. The size of the crystal used in this experiment, although large (4 × 3 × 2 mm), was not the largest ever produced for this complex. The degree of spatial overlapping observed in the Laue experiment, however, suggests that use of larger crystals would be a disadvantage. On the basis of these observations, several technical improvements for macromolecular neutron crystallography are suggested.

    Notes: Three different small-angle neutron scattering facilities, the "YUMO" camera at JINR (Dubna, Russia), the V4 camera at HMI (Berlin, Germany) and D11 camera at ILL (Grenoble, France), were used in the investigation of 30S ribosomal subunit from Thermus thermophilus. Parallel X-ray measurements on X33 camera at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) were used to control the identity of deuterated particles. The neutron and x-ray contrast variation data were interpreted by direct method using spherical harmonics. Structural models of the 30S ribosomal subunit from Thermus thermophilus and its RNA -rich core with the resolution 3.5 nm were constructed. A comparison between the 30S Thermus thermophilus and 30S E.coli models shows that primary difference between them consists in the special distributions of the protein component whereas the special distributions of the RNA component coincide well in both models.

    Notes: X-ray crystallography is the single most powerful method for the determination of accurate and precise macromolecular structures. The study of macromolecular motions, however, is, despite some successes with time-resolved crystallography not within the realms of the method. Further, the study of large macromolecular complexes sometimes poses tremendous problems of various kinds for x-ray crystallography and many laboratories approach large structures by solving individual domains. We herein present two examples employing small-angle x-ray and/or neutron scattering (SAXS, SANS) to study (i) conformational changes, and (ii) protein-lipid complexes complementing information from x-ray crystallography. The structural changes of creatine kinase upon substrate binding were investigated as an example of conformational changes not comprehensible from crystallography in the absence of crystal structures of the substrate-ligated enzyme. We also present studies of apolipoprotein E, reconstituted with lipid, in which a combined approach using SAXS/SANS, x-ray crystallography and other techniques yields a model of the complex not accessible by either of the methods alone.

    Notes: Amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide thin films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) at temperatures ranging from 573 to 623 K, with different concentrations of silane and methane, exploring two deposition parameters: the radio frequency (r.f.) power and the hydrogen dilution. The aim of the work was to induce, predominantly, the formation of Si—C heteronuclear bonds in a homogeneous network. The composition was determined by Rutherford backscattering and the chemical bonding by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. The local structural order was analyzed by means of extended X-ray absorption fine structure at the Si K edge. The morphology was investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering in order to determine the possible presence of voids in the amorphous matrix. The morphological investigation was completed by transmission electron microscopy. Better-structured films were obtained for a composition close to stoichiometry, grown with an r.f. power of 100 W and with 300 s.c.c.m. (standard cubic centimeter per minute) of hydrogen dilution.

    Notes: The thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) correction developed by Popa & Willis [Acta Cryst. (1997), A53, 537–545] for single-crystal pulsed neutron diffraction is examined via a series of experimental data sets collected at the spallation neutron source IPNS. The effect on the derived temperature parameter values is assessed and compared with reference structures obtained from gamma-ray diffraction. The importance of carrying out TDS corrections is emphasized. Suggestions are made regarding the method of evaluation of the TDS in situations where the elastic constants are unknown.

    Notes: The program SIR2000 [Burla et al. (2000). Acta Cryst. A56, 451–457] was designed for the ab initio solution of macromolecular crystal structures, provided that the data resolution is no lower than 1.2 Å. As the phasing procedure of SIR2000 is rather time consuming, modifications have been introduced to improve its efficiency and to make it additionally suitable for small molecules (new version SIR2000-N). The role of the tangent refinement in modern phasing procedures is enlightened.

    Notes: A new algorithm, called the term-selection algorithm (TSA), is derived to treat small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data by fitting models to the scattering intensity using weighted Hermite polynomials. This algorithm exploits the orthogonal property of the Hermite polynomials and introduces an error-reduction ratio test to select the correct model terms or to determine which polynomials are to be included in the model and to estimate the associated unknown coefficients. With no a priori information about particle sizes, it is possible to evaluate the real-space distribution function as well as three- and one-dimensional correlation functions directly from the models fitted to raw experimental data. The success of this algorithm depends on the choice of a scale factor and the accuracy of orthogonality of the Hermite polynomials over a finite range of SAXS data. An algorithm to select a weighted orthogonal term is therefore derived to overcome the disadvantages of the TSA. This algorithm combines the properties and advantages of both weighted and orthogonal least-squares algorithms and is numerically more robust for the estimation of the parameters of the Hermite polynomial models. The weighting feature of the algorithm provides an additional degree of freedom to control the effects of noise and the orthogonal feature enables the reorthogonalization of the Hermite polynomials with respect to the weighting matrix. This considerably reduces the error in orthogonality of the Hermite polynomials. The performance of the algorithm has been demonstrated considering both simulated data and experimental data from SAXS measurements of dewaxed cotton fibre at different temperatures.

    Notes: The non-destructive X-ray diffraction method is used to analyse carbo-nitrided steel layers after wear testing. These measurements are carried out on the two major phases of the material, i.e. the martensite and the retained austenite. Such measurements are particularly difficult for three reasons. First, strong gradients exist across the wear track. Second, the diffraction peaks obtained for the martensite are broadened, as a result of the overlap of different reflections of the tetragonal structure. Third, the studied material is multiphase. Its major phases are martensite and austenite, but it also contains carbide and nitride clusters, which lead to incoherent scattering of X-rays. A new quantitative phase analysis method is thus proposed to define the volume fractions of these different constituents of the material. This method accounts for the evolution of the background level during wear. A micro-mechanical model is then developed to process the diffraction peak positions obtained for the martensite and the retained austenite. This model defines the `true' stress and carbon content of both phases. It also allows separation of the reflections of the martensite. The true widths of the diffraction peaks, which characterize the plastic deformation, can thus be quantified. Results for wear-test specimens show a strong plastic deformation of the retained austenite during contact fatigue. This leads to a partial transformation of this phase into martensite. In the martensite, on the contrary, the plastic deformation remains low but the carbon content decreases. This is caused by a stress-induced precipitation of carbides.

    Notes: The diffractive determination of single-crystal elastic constants using polycrystalline samples represents the inverse problem to the (`direct') experiment of conventional diffractive residual-stress analysis. Both problems are rather sensitive to the quality of the experimental data and to the applied micro-mechanical models. This especially holds for the case of samples for which texture cannot be neglected. The current methods in the field are briefly described and specific difficulties are discussed. The key relations for the BPGeo micro-mechanical model (in which a texture-weighted geometric mean is applied in the stress analysis) are given for the general case. The necessity for careful analysis of the reliability of the results of planned experiments using theoretically modelled `experimental' data obtained with the applied micro-mechanical models is demonstrated for a set of line-shift data from a uniaxial tensile experiment on steel. The possibility of resolving the so-called d0 problem using the original line-position data for a structure refinement is demonstrated.

    Notes: The simulations presented here are based on the program Mathematica as a tool to present electron density maps of two-dimensional crystal structures. The models give further insights into the relationship between the thermal displacement parameters and the quality of the electron density maps. Furthermore, users can readily test the effects of several crystallographic parameters on the electron density maps, such as, the number of reflections, the thermal displacement parameters and the unit-cell dimensions.

    Notes: Bulk amorphous Zr54.5Ti7.5Al10Cu20Ni8 was investigated by means of small-angle neutron scattering and high-resolution electron microscopy. Partially crystallized states were generated by annealing. The scattering data were analyzed in terms of a model taking into account both properties of the particles and interparticle interference. The mean radius of the particles is 1.3 nm. They are surrounded by a depletion zone with mean thickness of 2.6 nm. The volume fraction of the particles is estimated from the interparticle interference effect; its upper limit after annealing at 653 K for 4 h is 12%. Electron microscopy confirms the size determined from the scattering data and shows that the particles are crystalline.

    Notes: The application of X-ray mapping in reciprocal space to the measurement of subtle strain modifications in heterostructures is analysed, focussing on strain analysis in non-cubic crystals. Special attention is paid to the enhancement of the precision of the mapping technique in comparison with conventional diffraction profile measurements. The capabilities of the mapping-based strain analysis are illustrated by selected examples of epitaxially grown structures (obeying Vegard's rule), as well as implanted structures with unknown mismatches between the lattice parameters of the damaged layer and of the crystal bulk.

    Notes: A furnace is described for in situ X-ray diffraction studies, in transmission mode, of structural changes in electrode materials for Li-ion (polymer) batteries in the ambient to 300°C temperature range. The method exploits the thin flat-cell geometry of the lithium-polymer battery concept. The flat sample is able to oscillate about a horizontal axis in its own plane in the X-ray beam, to provide better averaging during the diffraction experiment. The use of the device is demonstrated in a study of lithium intercalation in graphite (a commonly used anode material in lithium-ion batteries) during electrochemical cycling and storage at 70°C.

    Notes: A computer program has been developed for the determination of microstructural parameters from diffraction profiles of materials with cubic or hexagonal crystal lattices. The measured profiles or their Fourier transforms are fitted by ab initio theoretical functions for size and strain broadening. In the calculation of the theoretical functions, it is assumed that the crystallites have log-normal size distribution and that the strain is caused by dislocations. Strain and size anisotropy are taken into account by the dislocation contrast factors and the ellipticity of the crystallites. The fitting procedure provides the median and the variance of the size distribution and the ellipticity of the crystallites, and the density and arrangement of the dislocations. The efficiency of the program is illustrated by examples of severely deformed copper and ball-milled lead sulfide specimens.

    Notes: Profile fitting procedures associated with integral breadth studies and Fourier analysis are applied to the study of the complex Bi-containing layered perovskite SrBi2Nb2O9. Strong line broadening anisotropy is evidenced. Both `size' and `strain' effects contribute to the observed width. However, `size' broadening along the [00l] direction is essentially caused by stacking faults. The coherently diffracting domain sizes are deduced from Fourier analysis of the diffraction patterns and a rough estimate of the mean distance between faults is given. Thermal annealing significantly decreases the stacking fault density.

    Notes: The effect of concentration on the structure of SnO2 colloids in aqueous suspension, on their spatial correlation and on the gelation process was studied by small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). The shape of the experimental SAXS curves varies with suspension concentration. For diluted suspensions ([SnO2] ≤ 0.13 mol L−1), SAXS results indicate the presence of colloidal fractal aggregates with an internal correlation length ξ ∼ 20 Å, without any noticeable spatial correlation between them. This suggests that the aggregates are spatially arranged without any significant interaction like in ideal gas structures. For higher concentrations ([SnO2] = 0.16, 0.32, and 0.64 mol L−1), the colloidal aggregates are larger (ξ = 24 Å) and exhibit a certain degree of spatial correlation between them. The pair correlation function corresponding to the sol with the highest concentration (0.92 mol L−1) reveals a rather strong short range order between aggregates, characteristic of a fluid-like structure, with an average nearest-neighbor distance between aggregates d1 = 125 Å and an average second-neighbor distance d2 = 283 Å. The pair distribution function remains essentially invariant during the sol-gel transition, suggesting that gelation involves the formation of a few points of connection between the aggregates resulting in a gel network constituted by essentially linear chains of clusters.

    Notes: Nanophase zirconia particles are synthesized by mixing two reverse micelle solutions containing the precursor salt ZrOCl2 and the base NH4OH. The primary reverse micelle solution consists of AOT, toluene and water. The reverse micelle structure of four solutions as a function of w (the molar ratio of [water]/[AOT]) is characterized by small-angle neutron scattering at room temperature. With the addition of ZrOCl2 and NH4OH into the water pools, the reverse micelle sizes decrease as compared to those in the D2O/AOT/C6D5CD3 primary system. The mixed microemulsions contain reverse micelle sizes that fall between the values of the premixed solutions. All the reverse micelles exhibit uniform size and spherical shape. The effect of concentration of inorganic salt precursor in the water pools on the reverse micelle structure is also studied.

    Notes: Small angle light and X-ray scattering and scaling concepts are used to explore the intra- and inter-molecular structure of two different classes of new materials: dendritic polymer and porphyrins systems. Whereas porphyrins in water are characterized, depending on their concentration and ionic strength, by the built-up of extended clusters, dendrimers or ''starburst polymers'' display an internal self-similar structure.

    Notes: We report the results of a SANS study into the structure of the adsorbed layers formed at the interface in a dilute perfluorodecalinin-water emulsion by five short chain diblock copolymers of oxyethylene (OE) and oxybutylene (OB). The results are discussed in the context of the Marques-Joanny-Leibler scaling description of block copolymer adsorption from selective solvents. The volume fraction profiles are best described by parabolic and, to a lesser extent, Gaussian functional forms. On increasing the temperature the buoy segments of one copolymer were found to contract toward the surface, giving rise to profiles that were more block-like in accordance with the mean-field predictions of Wijmans and Zhulina.

    Notes: Aggregation of methylcellulose in aqueous dilute solution is studied by light and small angle neutron scattering. For temperature T〈293.15K, the free chains adopt a swollen conformation. For T〉313.15K, a slow aggregation kinetics occurs. At qRg〈1, the association number is found to vary as Rg3. However at qRg〉1, the scattered intensity decreases as q−(1〈d≤1.3) depending on the temperature. At even higher q, one observes a local compaction as aggregation proceeds, as revealed by a more and more pronounced Porod's behaviour. Results are discussed in terms of non self-similar growing aggregates, having neither a rod-like nor a dense structure.

    Notes: A ternary mixture of two homopolymers and the corresponding diblock copolymer represents a good model system to study critical phenomena near the mean field predicted Lifshitz point. The structure factor of concentration fluctuations is in this regime of the phase diagram described by a formula which independently accounts for the peak-position q*, the scattering intensity at q*, S(q*), and the forward scattering, S(0). The susceptibility, which is given by the maximum value of either S(0) or S(q*), shows markedly renormalized critical behavior with critical exponents significant larger than the 3d-Ising value relevant for simple binary blends.

    Notes: The structure of the styrene grafted and sulfonated poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) was studied by small angle x-ray scattering, SAXS. The starting material is lamellar and the grafting and sulfonation processes and the hexafluoropropylene, HFP, contents affected the lamellar period. The SAXS intensity curve of the sulfonated membranes also included an ionic peak which arises from the ionic aggregates. The effects of the humidy and metal ion neutralization on the ionic aggregates were studied.

    Notes: Interaction parameters of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) in acetonitrile–water mixed solvent were determined by using small-angle X-ray scattering. Small-angle X-ray scattering measurements were carried out in conditions of the semi-dilute poor solvent regime and just below the lower critical solution temperature. From concentration dependence of the correlation length, the binary and ternary cluster integrals were determined. The contribution of the segment–segment interactions to the entropy Sint and the enthalpy Hint has been calculated from the temperature dependence of these cluster integrals. It has been found that both values are positive. On addition of a small amount of acetonitrile into aqueous solution of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), Sint and Hint increase with increasing acetonitrile content. Upon further addition of acetonitrile, these values decreased.

    Notes: The microstructure of the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulphonic acid) gel, poly(NIPA-co-AMPS), was investigated as a function of temperature and cross-link density using the small angle neutron scattering technique. The sample temperature was varied in the range 30 to 55C. Two different behaviours of poly(NIPA-co-AMPS) gels were observed. At low temperature (30C), the magnitude of the scattered intensity increased with cross-link density suggesting that additional cross-links introduced more inhomogeneities in the gel network. At high temperatures the trend was reversed; that is the lower cross-link density, the higher the scattered intensity. Therefore, the role of cross-links at high temperature was to suppress microphase separation. The fitting of the experimental data with the Rabin and Panyukov theory indicated qualitative agreement.

    Notes: Very small-angle neutron scattering (VSANS) was used to develop a nondestructive inspecting technique for predicting the residual life time of turbine blades made from single crystal Ni-base superalloy. The VSANS curves, obtained from single crystalline CMSX-4 samples with the various degrees of damage, clearly show the first order peak of the lamellar structure created by a sequence of γ and γ' phases in this material. The peak shifts in the direction of lower scattering vector magnitudes when the creep damage increases, which reflects a corresponding increase of the period of the lamellar structure. According to the VSANS data, the interphase distance in the samples increases gradually (but does not grow rapidly) with increasing creep damage when the latter is 〈 54% of the creep leading to rupture. Thus, the interphase distance is a sensitive parameter which can be used to describe the morphological changes in Ni-base superalloys related to creep damage. The results are consistent with those obtained from scanning electron microscopy.

    Notes: SANS experiments on blends of linear, high density (HD) and long chain branched, low density (LD) polyethylenes indicate that these systems form a one-phase mixture in the melt. However, the maximum spatial resolution of pinhole cameras is ∼103Å and it has therefore been suggested that data might also be interpreted as arising from a bi-phasic melt with large a particle size (∼1µm), because most of the scattering from the different phases would not be resolved. We have addressed this hypothesis by means of USANS experiments, which confirm that HDPE/LDPE blends are homogenous in the melt on length scales up to 20µm. We have also studied blends of HDPE and short-chain branched linear low density polyethylenes (LLDPEs), which phase separate when the branch content is sufficiently high. LLDPEs prepared with Ziegler-Natta catalysts exhibit a wide distribution of compositions, and may therefore be thought of as a "blend" of different species. When the composition distribution is broad enough, a fraction of highly branched chains may phase separate on µm-length scales, and USANS has also been used to quantify this phenomenon.

    Notes: The anomalous signals from scatterers such as sulfur (S) and arsenic (As) were compared in diffraction data sets collected from an X-ray source with three different targets, Au, Cu and Cr, on a multi-target rotating anode. HIV-1 integrase crystals served as the test case for this study. The crystalline specimen of HIV-1 integrase contains in each protein molecule two As atoms, each covalently bound to a cysteine S atom, and two additional S atoms derived from methionine. It was found that the Cr Kα radiation gave the clearest peaks in anomalous difference Fourier maps, although the signal-to-noise ratios of the anomalous signal for the Cu Kα and Cr Kα data were similar but better than that for Au Lα. This result was in spite of the fourfold higher flux from the Cu anode versus the Cr anode. For all three X-ray wavelengths, anomalous difference Fourier maps calculated with bias-removed phases derived from the known atomic model revealed clear peaks at the two As sites. However, only in the map calculated using the Cr Kα data were both peaks of the expected ellipsoidal shape, enveloping the As atom and the adjacent S atom. None of the S sites was apparent in difference maps calculated using the Au Lα data. The ability to enhance the S-derived anomalous signal using Cr Kα radiation has particularly useful applications in the structure determination of proteins, for example in resolving ambiguities in the chain tracing of a protein with numerous disulfide bonds and in assigning amino acid identities. Additionally, anomalous difference Patterson maps calculated from the Cr Kα data were sufficiently clear to identify the As-related peaks. These results form the groundwork for in-house phase determination with the multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction method.

    Notes: The phases, their lattice parameters and the linear coefficient of the lattice thermal expansion were determined by high-temperature X-ray diffraction between room temperature and the melting point for the system (GaxIn1 − x)2Se3 (1 ≥ x ≥ 0). A wide homogeneity range of zinc blende structure was found in the Ga-rich region when a certain critical temperature was reached. In the In-rich region the alloys were isostructural with γ-In2Se3 at all temperatures, and the linear thermal-expansion coefficient was composition dependent.

    Notes: Crystal-lattice strain induced by impurity doping may be compensated for by diffusion of another kind of impurity. This was tried with successive diffusion of germanium and boron into (111) silicon wafers and was confirmed in a nondestructive way from the intensity profiles of the 333 Bragg reflection of Cu Kα X-rays. The intensity profile is related to the strain distribution along the depth through numerical computations, the programme for which has been developed and utilized previously [Fukuhara & Takano (1977). Acta Cryst. A33, 137–142] in quantitative discussions on strain and impurity concentration in silicon.

    Notes: Thermal density fluctuations within phases and finite interphase widths lead to systematic deviations from Porod's law. The validity of present methods used to analyze these deviations and determine diffuse-boundary widths is determined. In view of the inadequacies found in these methods, a simple yet accurate method is proposed to determine the diffuse-boundary width from direct graphical analysis of slit-smeared intensity data. The diffuse interface is modelled by a sigmoidal-gradient model which is justified on thermodynamic grounds, with the interphase thickness as a function of the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter.

    Notes: An analytical interpretation is presented of extra half-line equal-thickness fringes observed at a dislocation outcrop in X-ray and electron micrographs of wedge-shaped crystals taken at off-Bragg conditions. Extra fringes arc well explained as the interference of two wavefields deduced from Takagi's equations for dynamical diffraction in distorted crystals. Theoretical discussions given in the present paper confirm the experimentally obtained rule of Δn = h. b (h is the diffracting vector and b the Burgers vector of a dislocation), which determines the extra number of fringes, Δn, at the dislocation outcrop. When h. b ≠ integer, it is predicted that a discontinuous shift will occur in the position of equal-thickness fringes along the topographic image of a dislocation.

    Notes: A series of samples in the system Al2Se3–In2Se3 in the In-rich region have been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction. In the interval of the Al/In (molar) ratio r from r≳ 1/50 to r≲ 1/20 the system has a two-phase region, α + γ1, where α is isostructural with the room-temperature modification of In2Se3, and γ1 is isostructural with the second high-temperature modification, γ, of In2Se3. For r ≳ 1/20, ternary γ1 alloys (AlxIn1−x)2Se3 are present alone and their unit-cell parameters decrease continuously as the Al content increases. These results are analogous with those obtained for the system Ga2Se3–In2Se3 in the In-rich region. The samples have also been studied by differential thermal analysis and electron-probe microanalysis.

    Notes: Until now, the calculation of intensities diffracted by layer structures has only been treated in the two extreme cases, namely (i) the layers interfere completely and (ii) the layers do not interfere (turbostratic structures). The present paper develops the mathematical treatment which allows the calculation in the intermediate case, namely when layers are only partially interfering.

    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: 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.

    Notes: A computer program has been written with the aim of calculating the domain of an atom in a structure. 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: The asymmetrically cut, optimized BH diffractometer for small-angle X-ray scattering experiments is compared with the Kratky camera. It is shown that a crossover point exists in the resolution so that at a lower resolution the Kratky camera is superior and at a higher resolution the BH system is preferable. The crossover point depends on the number of reflections used. Methods of reducing the spurious signal and increasing the S/N ratio of the BH system are also discussed.

    Notes: A method for the computation of the effect of rough sample surfaces on diffraction intensities is described. Though the model used for the calculation is a special simple one, it is exact. The method is illustrated by its application to a surface whose boundary is a saw-tooth. Possible generalizations of the character of the surface roughness effect and how it depends on the dimensions of the surface irregularities are inferred from the calculation.

    Notes: A new X-ray film, produced by CEAVERKEN in Sweden, has recently become available. Some properties of this film have been compared to three other films commonly used in the recording of X-ray diffraction intensities (Agfa T4, Kodak No-screen, Ilford Industrial G). The linearity of CEA film has been found to be similar to that for Agfa and Ilford. The speed of the new film is about 10% lower than Agfa or Kodak, and the film factor was measured to be 2.9 for Cu Kα radiation. The background level is significantly lower than on the other three films investigated. This combination of properties makes CEA film suitable for routine collection of X-ray diffraction data.

    Notes: Single crystals of ZrO2–15 mol % CaO and ZrO2–9 mol % Y2O3, annealed for either 400 h at 1273 K or 2.5 h at 1673 K and then quenched, were examined by electron diffraction and dark-field transmission electron microscopy. The thermal treatments duplicated those of Faber, Mueller & Cooper [Phys. Rev. B (1978), 17, 4884–4888], who used elastic neutron scattering to investigate fluorite-forbidden reflections which arise from what previous authors have called the `ordered' structure. The present results show that the extra reflections are due to precipitation of tetragonal ZrO2 in both systems. Imaging with the diffuse-scattered intensity also present reveals small domains, presumably associated with oxygen-vacancy ordering, in the cubic solid-solution matrix. The diffuse intensity is observed whether or not tetragonal ZrO2 precipitates are present.
