It can be equally well applied to study crystalline solid, gasses, liquids or amorphous materials __________________________________________________________ 2n summer school in DUBNA. slide 3 June 4, 2010 AMR ATTIA__________________________________________________________________________ Applications of Neutron Diffraction chemistry biochemistry geological sciences engineering life sciences materials science archeology __________________________________________________________ 2n summer school in DUBNA. slide 4 June 4, 2010 AMR ATTIA__________________________________________________________________________ What's the HRFD? • High resolution Fourier diffractometer HRFD is a unique instrument for carrying out neutron diffraction experiments requiring the interplanar spacing resolution on the level of 0.001. __________________________________________________________ 2n summer school in DUBNA. slide 5 June 4, 2010 AMR ATTIA__________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ 2n summer school in DUBNA. slide 6 June 4, 2010 AMR ATTIA__________________________________________________________________________ research program • Structural experiments :Investigation of phase transitions in powders and single crystals • Measurement of residual internal stresses in bulk samples __________________________________________________________ 2n summer school in DUBNA. slide 7 June 4, 2010 AMR ATTIA__________________________________________________________________________ Standard results Al2O3 NIST standard alo631 Normalized intensity Al2O3 HRFD 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.0 4 0 -4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 d, Å 1.8 2.0 2.2 2.4 2.6 __________________________________________________________ 2n summer school in DUBNA. slide 8 June 4, 2010 8 Rietv AMR ATTIA__________________________________________________________________________ Na2Al2Ca3F14 Normalized intensity nac-hrpt HRPT NAC, =1.886 Å 20 40 60 80 100 2, grad. 120 140 160 __________________________________________________________ 2n summer school in DUBNA. slide 9 June 4, 2010 AMR ATTIA__________________________________________________________________________ Acknowledgement • Before all and above all, thanks to Allah. • I wish to express my deep gratitude and thanks to Dr/ Ivan Bobrikov __________________________________________________________ 2n summer school in DUBNA. slide 10 June 4, 2010 AMR ATTIA__________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ 2n summer school in DUBNA. slide 11 June 4, 2010
