ABSTRACTInelastic incoherent neutron-scattering spectra of cis-, trans- and Na-doped polyacety-lene are presented. The experiments were performed with time-of-flight and filter-analyzer spectrometers on stretch-oriented samples such that the polarization of vibrational modes could also be determined.

The UB matrix approach has been extended to handle inelastic neutron scattering experiments with differing k_{\rm i} and k_{\rm f}. We have considered the typical goniometer employed on triple-axis and time-of-flight spectrometers. Expressions are derived to allow for calculation of the UB matrix and for converting from observables to Q-energy space. In addition, we have developed appropriate modes for calculation of angles for a specified Q-energy position.

AbstractThe inelastic neutron scattering spectra of 2, 4 –Dinitroimidazole (24DNI) are presented from 25 to 1200 cm-1. Direct comparisons were made to the experimental spectra using solid-state calculation methods at the BLYP/dnd, BP/dnd, and PWC/dnd theory levels. Comparison of the observed and calculated INS spectra revealed that the BLYP/dnd calculations provide the best description of the experimental INS spectrum below 1000 cm-1. The PWC/dnd calculations were found to give the best vibrational agreement with the experimental frequencies above 1000 cm-1. In addition, the six experimental lattice vibrations were assigned. The first overtone of the lattice vibration with the highest vibrational energy is nearly degenerate with one of the fundamental vibrations, suggesting the possibility of a “doorway mode”.

Well defined peaks with energies of about 18 meV have been observed in a variety of inelastic neutron scattering experiments on both single crystals and powders, using either the triple-axis or the time-of-flight technique. They can easily be mistaken for signatures of real excitations. It has been found that they are due to multiple scattering events involving primarily the walls of the sample environment. Hence, they are particularly troublesome in experiments using very small samples, as have been used with recently developed high-intensity neutron spectrometers. Measures required to reduce the unwanted scattering to a minimum are also discussed.
