Abstract:
High-pressure neutron diffraction (HPND) experiments in extended pressure and temperature ranges can provide invaluable information for understanding many pressure-induced emergent phenomena, such as unusual phase transitions and quantum critical behavior involving spin, orbital, charge and structural degrees of freedom, in strongly correlated materials. Many apparatuses for different purposes of HPND experiments have been developed in several laboratories. Recently, a clamp-type cubic anvil high pressure cell that can generate pressure over 7 GPa at 3 K was developed for low-temperature HPND measurements. In this paper, characteristics of the clamp-type cubic anvil high pressure cell are presented and its performances are demonstrated by measuring magnetic neutron scattering under pressure on MnP single crystal samples.

Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is a eukaryotic organelle that has a distinctive ribbon-like appearance. It is a primary sorting and dispatch station for cargo arriving from the ER. Newly arriving vesicles enter the cis face of the Golgi, closest to the ER, and are...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...
