Abstract. 2014 In the tetragonal layer structure K2NiF4, strong magnetic interactions between atoms belonging to the same plane are present, while the interaction between two layers is much weaker. Neutron diffraction work revealed an antiferromagnetic interaction in the planes, the direction of the moments being that of the c-axis. The compounds La0,5Sr1,5MnO4 and La2NiO4 have the same crystal structure. At low tempe- ratures their magnetic susceptibility also deviates from the Curie-Weiss behaviour. Nevertheless no magnetic long range order has been found with neutron diffraction, at least at temperatures down to that of liquid hydrogen. Preliminary results on Cs2MnCl4 are presented.

2014 The cation distribution of synthetic spinel powder of grain size ~ 50 03BC was redetermined by means of neutron diffraction experiments. The oxygen parameter found by Bacon (1952) has been confirmed, but, in contradiction to Bacon, the degree of inversion amounts to about 10 to 15 %, and depends upon the thermal history of the sample. LE JOURNAL DE PHYSIQUE TOME ‘~5, MAI 196~, Magnesium aluminium oxyde crystallizes in the space group Fd3n?. The unit cell can be described by a nearly close packed cubic oxygen arrangement with built-in cations, which are either tetrahedrally or almost octahedrally surrounded by the oxygen atoms. The lattice parameter of the unit cell amounts to 8.0832 A, and there are eight molecules per cell. The spinel structure is characterized by the fact that, relative to the center of symmetry, the cations are located at fixed positions, while the oxygen positions depend upon a parameter u. The spinel structure is called " normal " if the Mg atoms occupy the tetrahedral A-sites, only. However, on the space average, any fraction of Mg can be replaced by Al atoms. This fraction of replacement is called " degree of inversion " and denoted by i. The knowledge of the degree of inversion, and thus of the cation distribution, is of special interest in connection with possible changes of the structure due to the thermal history of the substance. Thus far, two basically different methods have been employed for the problem in question. One is to use nuclear resonance techniques, as was done by Brun and coworkers [1]. They found that synthetically produced Mg-Al spinels are considerably inverse, while naturally grown Mg-Al spinels exhibit approximately the normal spinel structure, when not annealed beyond about 800 °C. However, once annealed at temperatures higher than 800 OC, natural spinel will be inverse to a large degree. A second, and more reliable method to determine the degree of inversion, and thus the cation distribution, is provided by neutron diffraction. From the equation of the structure factor where and = iiinctions of u, i .--degree of inversion and = inn-lear scattering amplitude, it follows that L can be obtained with accuracy, since the b-values of the two cation constituents differ considerably. Bacon [2] was the first to use the above relationship in order to determine the degree of inversion in synthetic spinel powder samples. He found, in contradiction to Brun and coworkers, a nearly vanishing i-value, i. e. a normal spinel structure with at most a slight tendency towards inversion. Because of this discrepancy, it appeared desirable to repeat the neutron diffraction experiments, and to investigate the effect of annealing the sample on its structure. Since Bacon could, in 1952, perform his diffraction work with low resolution only, the aim in our experiments was to improve the resolution. The investigations were performed with the 20 MW reactor " Diorit " of the Swiss Federal Institute for Reactor Research. Syn
2014利用中子衍射实验重新测定了~ 50 03BC型合成尖晶石粉末的阳离子分布。由Bacon(1952)发现的氧参数已被证实,但与Bacon相反,反演的程度约为10%至15%,并取决于样品的热历史。[j] .物理学报[j] . 5, [m] . 1996,镁铝在空间群中结晶。单晶胞可以用一个几乎紧密排列的立方氧排列来描述,其中含有内嵌的阳离子,它们被氧原子以四面体或几乎八面体的形式包围。单元胞的晶格参数为8.0832 A,每个胞有8个分子。尖晶石结构的特点是,相对于对称中心,阳离子位于固定位置,而氧的位置取决于参数u。只有Mg原子占据四面体a位时,尖晶石结构才被称为“正常”结构。然而,在空间平均上,Mg的任何部分都可以被Al原子取代。这个取代的分数被称为“反转度”,用i表示。反转度的知识,以及阳离子分布的知识,与由于物质的热历史而可能发生的结构变化有关,是特别有趣的。到目前为止,对于所讨论的问题已经采用了两种基本不同的方法。一种是使用核共振技术,如Brun及其同事[1]所做的那样。他们发现,人工合成的Mg-Al尖晶石是相当相反的,而自然生长的Mg-Al尖晶石在不超过800°C退火时,表现出近似正常的尖晶石结构。然而,一旦在高于800℃的温度下退火,天然尖晶石将在很大程度上反转。第二种更可靠的方法是用中子衍射来确定反转的程度,从而确定阳离子的分布。由结构因子式(和= u, i -反演度和= in -lear散射振幅)可知,由于两种阳离子组分的b值相差较大,可以较准确地求出L。Bacon[2]首先利用上述关系来确定合成尖晶石粉末样品中的反转程度。他发现,与布朗和他的同事相反,一个几乎消失的i值,即一个正常的尖晶石结构,最多有轻微的反转趋势。由于这种差异,有必要重复中子衍射实验,并研究退火对样品结构的影响。由于培根在1952年只能在低分辨率下进行衍射工作,所以我们实验的目的是提高分辨率。调查是在瑞士联邦反应堆研究所的20兆瓦“Diorit”反应堆上进行的。采用人工合成和化学计量尖晶石粉末(# 50 tl),采用AI(ill)和Al(311)反射对中子束进行单色化。图1和图2表示观察到的衍射强度的角度分布。通过比较可以看出,与Al(111)相比,Al(311)单色器产生了更好的分辨率,特别是在高角度下,这与Caglioti的[3]理论很好地吻合。我们的图的评价证实了培根发现的氧参数:u = 0,387 -~0,001。然而,我们的尖晶石样品不能用正常的尖晶石结构来描述。如果假设反转程度大致在10%到15%之间,实验观察到的强度与计算得到的强度最吻合。此外,还发现该值在一定程度上取决于样品的热处理。为了获得关于这种影响的更详细的信息,对同一样品进行了两次退火程序:在第一次实验中,文章发表在EDP科学网站上,并可在http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/jphys:01964002505044700上获得

Single crystals have been examined by neutron diffraction in the range of temperatures 20 °C to 1 100 °C and of compositions UO2 to U4O9. The investigations divide into three groups, relating to UO2, UO2+x (where 0 (for O') and along (for O") from the large interstices in the fluorite structure. The interstices themselves are not occupied. At the composition UO 2.25 the oxygen atoms are ordered to form the new phase U4O9. The " main " neutron reflexions of U4O9, corresponding to the fluorite-type peaks of UO2, are much stronger than the superlattice reflexions, which arise from the ordering of the interstitial oxygen atoms within the fluorite framework. The analysis of the intensities of the main reflexions shows that there are two kinds of interstitial sites, as in UO2+x : the 0' atoms are located 0.85 A along the directions from the centres of the large interstices, and the O" atoms 1.05 A along . Vacancies occur in the fluorite-type oxygen sites (0) but not in the uranium sites, and the chemical formula UO2.25 is expressed more fully as U1.00 O1.77 O'0.29 O"0.19. It is concluded that oxygen atoms cannot enter the fluorite structure individually but are incorporated in small groups containing O' and O" atoms and O vacancies. A complete structure determination of U4O9 must await the analysis of the superlattice reflexions.

Measurements of the magnetic disorder scattering of neutrons from dilute ferromagnetic alloys allow the spatial distribution of the magnetic moment disturbance around the solute atoms to be investigated. Results are presented for dilute polycrystalline iron based alloys showing the magnetic moment distribution around manganese, chromium and vanadium atoms. The scattering from manganese impurities indicates that their presence has no appreciable effect on the moment of nearby iron atoms. In the case of chromium and vanadium impurities, the data can only be interpreted in terms of a small increase of moment on iron atoms which are roughly 4 A distant from solute atoms. There appears to be a negative moment on the impurity atoms themselves.

2014 Spin orderings of the binary fluorides with chemical formula XMnF3 (X = Na, Rb, Cs, and NH4) were investigated by neutron diffraction. The antiferromagnetic lattices of the compounds with X = Na, Rb, and NH4 are found to be of the same basic type as found in KMnF3 (G-type). In CsMnF3, which is hexagonal, the Mn2+ layers are arranged in an antiparallel sequence along the c-axis, with the spin direction normal to the axis. LE JOURNAL DE PHYSIQUE TOME 25, MAI 196fit, Introduction. Binary fluorides of the type XMnF (X = Na, Rb, Cs, and NH4), which were investigated previously by means of x-ray [1, 2], electron spin resonance [3, 4] specific heat [5], and magnetization [6, 7] measurements, have been reported to be antiferromagnetic. The present study reports powder neutron diffraction measurements on these compounds undertaken to confirm the antiferromagnetism and to study details of the magnetic ordering. Some information was also obtained concerning the nuclear structures. Experimental. The measurements were taken on powdered samples, which were kindly furnished by M. Shafer. Temperatures intermediate between 4.2 oK and 77 oK were attained by heating the sample holder, which was insulated from the liquid helium bath by thin teflon sheets, or by pumping on liquid nitrogen. In this way the sample could be held at any desired temperature, which was measured by a carbon resistance thermometer in contact with the sample holder. For small temperature changes, the sample came into equilibrium after about one-half hour. Structure information. All of the compounds can be considered as based on perovskite. RbMnF3 and NH4MnF3 are cubic (tolerance ratios 1.00 and 0.97, respectively), while NaMnF3 and CSNInF have tolerance ratios outside the cubic range. The Na compound is orthorhombic [1] and has a pseudomonoclinic cell derived from a (1) Work performed under the auspices of the U. S.
