Neutron diffraction in Fe(Al) reveals incommensurate spin density waves (SDWs) in alloys known to be spin glasses. The wave vectors for crystals of Fe(34Al), Fe(40Al), and Fe(43Al) show n varying from 11 to 6 for q-->=2pi(h+/-1/n,k+/-1/n,l+/-1/n)/a(0), where (h,k,l) and a(0) characterize the parent bcc lattice of the CsCl structure. The magnetic reflections are present far above the spin-glass ...

BACKGROUND Cell culture conditions can greatly influence the results of nanoparticle (NP) uptake assays. In this study, 10 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and RAW 264.7 macrophages were used as a model system, while instrumental neutron activation analysis (NAA) was used as the elemental analysis technique to determine AuNP levels produced by the various culturing conditions. Static plate-based a...

In this work, the solid solution series Ba2In(2-x)Ir(x)O5+δ (x = 0-1.4, 2) was synthesized, and its structural, magnetic, and charge-transport properties were measured. With increasing Ir content, three transitions in the room-temperature structure were observed: orthorhombic to tetragonal to cubic to a monoclinic distortion of a hexagonal BaTiO3 structure. Neutron diffraction shows Ba2In(1.6)I...

Through instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) the elemental chemical composition of Salvinia auriculata and Ouro Preto city public water was determined. Elements Ce, Th, Cr, Hf, Sb, Sc, Rb, Fe, Zn, Co, Au, La and Br were quantified. High chromium concentration was determined in this plant. But, chromium was determined only in low concentrations in the water. The results indicate the g...

A Prompt Gamma Ray Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) system, incorporating an isotopic neutron source has been simulated using the MCNPX Monte Carlo code. In order to improve the signal to noise ratio different collimators and a filter were placed between the neutron source and the object. The effect of the positioning of the neutron beam and the detector relative to the object has been studi...

Neutron diffraction measurements have been carried out on a single crystal of the iron-based superconductor system SrFe1.92Ni0.08As2. Nitrogen gas sealed in the sample container was found to produce Bragg peaks over a limited range of temperature that were symmetrically positioned around the strongest magnetic Bragg peak in the system, giving the appearance of transition to an incommensurate ma...

a study was undertaken to investigate the role of placenta in transferring drugs containing bromine to the infant. 20 pregnant subjects were given bromine as kbr (500 mg/50 kg weight) 10h before the delivery the bromine content of the serum in the mother and the child was estimated by neutron.. 13 lrradlated at 2xlo activation analysis. samples were -2 -1 n em 5 for a period of one hour. a ge (...

--Extensions of our simulations to higher x-ray scattering angles are presented and discussed. Here only qualitative comparisons are available. Neutron diffraction simulation results are presented and compared with available experiment.

Majolica pottery is one of the most characteristic tablewares produced during the Medieval and Renaissance periods. Majolica technology was introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by Islamic artisans during Medieval times, and its production and popularity rapidly spread throughout Spain and eventually other locations in Europe and the Americas. The prestige and importance of Spanish majolica was v...

Neutron diffraction studies of Ba(Fe(1-x)Co(x))(2)As)(2) reveal that commensurate antiferromagnetic order gives way to incommensurate magnetic order for Co compositions between 0.056 < x < 0.06. The incommensurability has the form of a small transverse splitting (0, ± ε, 0) from the commensurate antiferromagnetic propagation vector Q(AFM) = (1,0,1) (in orthorhombic notation) where ε ≈ 0.02-0.03...
