We present single crystal neutron diffraction measurements on multiferroic LuFe(2)O(4). Magnetic reflections are observed below transitions at 240 and 175 K indicating that the magnetic interactions in LuFe(2)O(4) are three-dimensional in character. The magnetic structure is refined as a ferrimagnetic spin configuration below the 240 K transition. Below 175 K a significant broadening of the mag...

Powder neutron diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements at 10-300 K have been used to determine the crystal and magnetic structures of brownmillerite type Ca(2)Cr(2)O(5), which was obtained by reduction of the high pressure phase CaCrO(3) through hard-soft chemistry. The ambient temperature crystal structure of Ca(2)Cr(2)O(5) is refined in space group I2mb and the unusual tetrahedra...

Based on a study of high-energy epithermal (HEE) neutrons in data from the Lunar Exploration Neutron Detector (LEND) on NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), the background from HEE neutrons is larger than initially estimated. Claims by Mitrofanov et al. (Reports, 22 October 2010, p. 483) of enhanced hydrogen abundance in sunlit portions of the lunar south pole and quantitative hydrogen co...

Medical linear accelerators are one of the most widespread methods for cancer treatment. Despite their advantages, unwanted photoneutrons are produced by high energy linacs. This photoneutrons are as undesired doses to patients and a significant problem for radiation protection of the staffs and patients. Photoneutrons radiological risk must be evaluated because of their high LET and range.in o...

Neutron diffraction has proven to be an indispensable and highly significant tool since its development 60 years ago. The neutron has unique properties that yield distinct information unavailable otherwise. Chief among these properties is the relative uniformity of the neutron scattering power of atoms across the periodic table, allowing the accurate structure determination of materials compose...

The specific heat of Ce3Co4Sn13 exhibits a crossover from heavy Fermion behavior with antiferromagnetic correlations at low field to single impurity Kondo behavior above 2T. We have performed neutron diffraction measurements in magnetic fields up to 6T on single crystal samples. The (0 0 1) position shows a dramatic increase in intensity in field which appears to arise from static polarization ...

An analysis of neutron diffraction data of liquid deuterated terr-butanol at room temperature to determine its molecular conformation is presented. Being a big molecule of 15 sites, the analysis is tricky and needs careful consideration. The resulting molecular parameters are compared with those obtained from other experimental data analysis and model calculations. The information about the int...

As a continuation of diffraction work on melts from eutectic binary systems such as Al-Sn [1], Au-Co [2], and Bi-Cu [3] an investigation of melts from the eutectic system Sn-Zn by means of neutron diffraction will be described in the present work. The liquidus lines in the constitution diagrams of these systems always show a point of inflection, so th a t segregation tendency in molten state is...

Neutron diffraction was employed to measure internal residual stresses at various locations along stainless steel (SS) 17-4 PH specimens additively manufactured via laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF). Of these specimens, two were rods (diameter=8 mm, length=80 mm) built vertically upward and one a parallelepiped (8×80×9 mm3) built with its longest edge parallel to ground. One rod and the parallele...
