X-ray Crystallography

24.6K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples

4.2K
X-ray diffraction or XRD is an analytical tool that utilizes X-rays to study ordered structures such as crystalline organic and inorganic samples, polycrystalline materials, proteins, carbohydrates, and drugs.
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...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid-State Physics
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • The B1(NaCl) to B2(CsCl) structural phase transition is a key model for understanding general phase transformations.
  • Investigating these transitions under high strain rate shock compression is crucial for understanding phase transition dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the phase transition mechanisms of single-crystal potassium chloride (KCl) under planar shock compression.
  • To utilize subnanosecond synchrotron X-ray diffraction for visualizing lattice response during dynamic compression.

Main Methods:

  • Subnanosecond synchrotron X-ray diffraction
  • Planar shock compression of single-crystal KCl
  • Analysis of lattice response and orientation relations

Main Results:

  • Complete B1-B2 orientation relations were observed for KCl shocked along ⟨100⟩_{B1} and ⟨110⟩_{B1}.
  • The orientation relations and transition mechanisms were found to be anisotropic.
  • Mechanisms involve interlayer sliding and intralayer ion rearrangement, describable by Watanabe-Tokonami-Morimoto models.

Conclusions:

  • The study establishes a paradigm for investigating solid-solid phase transitions under dynamic extremes.
  • Ultrafast synchrotron X-ray diffraction is a powerful tool for dynamic materials research.
  • Anisotropic mechanisms govern KCl phase transitions under shock compression.
