Determination of the response of pentaerythritol tetranitrate to static high pressure up to 4.2 GPa by neutron diffraction
Neutron powder diffraction experiments were performed on pentaerythritol tetranitrate explosive up to 4.28 GPa. For deuterated samples the changes in lattice parameters, intramolecular torsional angles and molecular rotation were measured. The lattice parameter changes were different from those observed in protonated samples. However, there is no evidence of a phase transition or change in molecular symmetry.
