The structure of urea–phosphoric acid is reported at a large number of temperatures in the range 150–335 K from neutron diffraction data collected using a novel multiple single-crystal data collection method. The work focuses on the behaviour of the H atom involved in the short strong O—H...O hydrogen bond in this material. The position of this atom is shown to vary significantly, by around 0.035  Å, as a function of temperature, becoming effectively centred at the highest temperatures studied. This result, only accessible due to the accurate determination of H-atom parameters by neutron diffraction, has implications for the potential governing the hydrogen bond.

AbstractThe ε-phase is hexagonal, space group P63/mmc. For the composition Pb7Bi3 the following data were determined, a = 3.5058(1) Å c = 5.7959(5) Å, Vol. = 61.687 Å3(5), Dc = 11.17 Mg m−3. Filings from single crystal material were used to obtain powder data by the Guinier method and the X-ray results were in accordance with single crystal neutron diffraction data. Transition to the superconducting state took place in the interval 8.3 K–8.55 K.

The structure of the heavy fermion compound Ce2Pt6Ga15 has been determined from neutron powder and X-ray/neutron single-crystal diffraction. Examination of symmetry equivalence among the single-crystal data, as well as the good fit of the powder data to the final structural arrangement, with all the atoms on symmetry sites, suggests that the correct space group is P63/mmc. The structure is unusual in that Ce layers have 1/3 of the Ce atoms replaced by groups of three Ga atoms; distances between atoms in these planes suggest this substitution must occur in a concerted fashion. The refined occupancies lead to a stoichiometry near Ce2Pt6Ga15, consistent with such an arrangement. In addition, single-crystal neutron diffraction data show columns of weak diffuse scattering along the <001> axes, suggesting disorder arising from a lack of registration of successive Ce2Ga3 layers (lying half a cell length or 8.27 Å apart along z) and a 3 × 3 × 1 supercell. This disorder is very likely responsible for the low resistance ratio of approximately unity measured for single-crystal samples.

ABSTRACTWe have studied the structural and magnetic properties of La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xNixO3 (x=0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, and 0.40) perovskites using x-ray and neutron diffraction and magnetic measurements. To our knowledge, there exists no neutron diffraction data available for this group of perovskite compositions. Neutron (λ = 1.479Å) and x-ray (λ = 1.5481Å; Cu Kα) powder diffraction indicate that for x ≥ 0.1 all samples are two-phase with a rhombohedral perovskite structure (space group R-3c) and a small amount of NiO (space group Fm3m). Neutron diffraction data for the perovskite phase at 12K and 300K show ferromagnetic ordering for x ≤ 0.2 and antiferromagnetic ordering for x = 0.4. However, for x = 0.3, neutron diffraction data at 12K show coexisting ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ordering while at 300K no magnetic ordering is found. Magnetic measurements indicate that the Curie temperature decreases with increasing Ni content. The NiO phase for all samples was found to have antiferromagnetic ordering at 12K and 300K. The magnetic measurements are consistent with the neutron diffraction data and together indicate long-range magnetic ordering for samples at low temperature and transitions from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic ordering for samples at room temperature.
