Re: HiCANS (Hight Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Source)

2023-09-06 Thread Yaroslav Filinchuk
Hi Alan, Accelerator-driven neutron sources are a lot cheaper than spallation sources. Moreover, Figure 54 in the ICONE document shows that the scientific productivity of neutron sources does not depend on the flux of the source. And the biggest point might be the return to building new

Hi Lubo, if we speak of diffraction, we have a Fourier transformation, so we are not 100% in the direct space with any structure solution method. However, the "structure solution in direct space" does not attempt to work in the reciprocal space - all the manipulations are done in the direct

Title: Re: Cyberstar hot air blowers Hello Simon, we are successfully using a programmable hot air blower (25-750°C) called Le Mini Sensor Kit 800, from the Swiss company Leister. It costs about 2000 CHF, and is aimed at the industrial use. It allows to do ramps, it follows the protocol very

Dear Christina, Chi2 may be small because of a high noise, so it indicates that the model is over-refined with respect to the quality of the data (quick collection using analyzer crystal). This is a trivial case and you can't help it. The other (more likely) option is that you have low-noise

Title: Re: diffraction patterns or spectra Dear Brian, to me spectroscopy sounds as a technique were an energy spectrum is used, i.e. the light of different energies has a different absorption coefficient (IR), or there is a different energy transfer for a fixed wavelength (Raman, INS, IXS).

Dear Martin, What is called texture in the link you've provided actually is a bad powder average. Texture sounds to me as a rather general term, while preferred orientation is its particular case. Texture is the distribution of crystallographic orientations in a

Dear Gerard, The low-angle intensity problem might come from disordered regions, like water or solvent molecules occupying some voids. Also, poor modeling of weakly scattering atoms, like hydrogen, may lead to the similar problem. Best regards, Yaroslav http://filinchuk.com

Dear Peter, the most correct constraint would be to fix a sum of coordinates of all atoms along polar axis, but not only of the first two. It gives the best estimation of the standard uncertainties. Yaroslav Filinchuk PZ Bob, PZ Thank you for the clarification. I never had doubts
