Neutron diffraction of amorphous calcium carbonate
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is regularly listed as one of the known calcium carbonate phases, first being identified in 1984. Although ACC is inherently unstable, it is a... -
Neutron diffraction of amorphous FePO4 and LiFePO4
We are convinced that a careful study of the atomic structure of a-FePO4 would provide very interesting insights into several phosphate systems, including phosphate glass... -
Isotopic Mass Contrast Study of Silica Glass
We wish to perform neutron diffraction measurements on glass samples of SiO2 and 30CaO.70SiO2 containing both natural oxygen and 18O. The oxygen scattering lengths are almost... -
Neutron diffraction of sodium iron phosphate glasses
One important structural application of oxide glasses is for nuclear waste immobilisation. Recent reports have highlighted the possibility of iron phosphate glasses as an...
