A High-Energy Monochromatic Laue (MonoLaue) X-ray Diffuse Scattering Study of KMnF3 using an Image Plate

The technique of high-energy monochromatic Laue X-ray scattering using image plates to record the diffraction patterns is presented. A tunable wiggler beamline is used as an X-ray source. It is shown that such experimental conditions present many advantages over conventional tube sources and photographic films. A study of diffuse scattering in the perovskite compound KMnF3 is presented to illustrate this in a qualitative way.

Monte Carlo computer simulation has been used to interpret and model observed single-crystal diffuse X-ray scattering data for pentachloronitrobenzene, C6Cl5NO2. Each site in the crystal contains a molecule in one of six different basic orientations with equal probability. However, no short-range order amongst these different orientations has been detected. The strong, detailed and very distinctive diffraction patterns can be accounted for almost entirely on the assumption of random occupancy of each molecular site, but with very large local relaxation displacements that tend to increase the neighbouring distances for contacts involving NO2...NO2 and NO2...Cl with a corresponding reduction for those involving Cl...Cl. The results show that the mean NO2...NO2 distance is increased by ∼ 0.6 Å, compared with that given by the average structure determination.

Disordered Crystal

A technique for the measurement of diffuse X-ray scattering on individual reciprocal-space planes using high-energy X-ray photons is described. The method is demonstrated using a disordered crystal of the compound TlSbOGeO4and compared to data collected with a sealed-tube Cu anode source. Measurements were made on a synchrotron undulator beamline at an energy of 45 keV using Weissenberg flat-cone geometry and a storage phosphor (image) plate to detect the scattered X-rays. Advantages of the method include: extension of the accessible diffraction space to both higherandlower wavevectors, the ability to use crystals of irregular shape without the need for complicated absorption corrections, less need to prepare sample surfaces carefully, and the ability to filter fluorescence simply.
