Abstract

Knowledge of the atomic-scale structure is an important prerequisite to understanding and predicting properties of materials. With bulk crystals it is routinely obtained by X-ray diffraction. With nanocrystals, however, traditional X-ray crystallography fails because of their substantially limited length of structural coherence. Here we illustrate, step by step, how a nontraditional approach involving high-energy X-ray diffraction and atomic pair distribution function analysis is applied to determine the atomic-scale structure of a typical nanocrystalline material-Fe{sub x}Pd{sub 100-x} (x = 0, 26, 28, 48) nanoparticles exhibiting useful magnetic properties.

Atomic-scale structure of nancrystalline CeO{sub 2}-ZrO{sub 2} oxides by total x-ray diffraction and pair distribution function analysis.

Journal Article Gateshki, M ; Niederberger, M ; Deshpande, A S ; ... - J. Phys. :Cond. Matter

Total x-ray diffraction and atomic pair distribution function analysis have been used to determine the atomic ordering in nanocrystalline ({approx}1.5 nm in size) CeO{sub 2}-ZrO{sub 2} prepared by a sol-gel route. Experimental data show that the oxides are a structurally and chemically inhomogeneous mixture of nanoscale domains with cubic-type and monoclinic-type atomic ordering, predominantly occupied by Ce and Zr atomic species, respectively. The study is another demonstration of the great potential of non-traditional crystallography in studying the structure of nanocrystalline materials.

Element-specific structure of materials with intrinsic disorder by high-energy resonant x-ray diffraction and differential atomic pair-distribution functions : a study of PtPd nanosized catalysts.

Journal Article Petkov, V ; Shastri, S D ; X-Ray Science Division ; ... - Phys. Rev. B

We demonstrate how high-energy resonant x-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential atomic-pair-distribution function (PDF) analysis can be used to characterize the atomic ordering in materials of limited structural coherence with both excellent spatial resolution and element specificity. First we prove that this experimental approach is feasible by probing the K-absorption edge of Au({approx}81 keV) atoms in chemically ordered and disordered bulk Cu3Au alloys. The resulting Au-differential PDFs show very clearly the different ways Au atoms are known to occupy the sites of otherwise identical cubic lattices of those materials. Next we apply it to a more complex material: PtPd alloy andmore »« less

Microfluidic sorting of protein nanocrystals by size for X-ray free-electron laser diffraction

Journal Article Abdallah, Bahige G. ; Zatsepin, Nadia A. ; Roy-Chowdhury, Shatabdi ; ... - Structural Dynamics

We report that the advent and application of the X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) has uncovered the structures of proteins that could not previously be solved using traditional crystallography. While this new technology is powerful, optimization of the process is still needed to improve data quality and analysis efficiency. One area is sample heterogeneity, where variations in crystal size (among other factors) lead to the requirement of large data sets (and thus 10–100 mg of protein) for determining accurate structure factors. To decrease sample dispersity, we developed a high-throughput microfluidic sorter operating on the principle of dielectrophoresis, whereby polydisperse particles canmore »« less

Structural Evolution of BaTiO[subscript 3] Nanocrystals Synthesized at Room Temperature

Journal Article Rabuffetti, Federico A ; Brutchey, Richard L - Journal of the American Chemical Society

Sub-10 nm BaTiO{sub 3} nanocrystals were synthesized at room temperature via the vapor diffusion sol-gel method, and their structural evolution during nucleation and growth stages was followed using a series of techniques that probe the atomic structure on different length and time scales. Special emphasis was placed on assessing the evolution of the local symmetry and structural coherence of the resulting nanocrystals, as these are the structural bases for cooperative properties such as ferroelectricity. Although the room-temperature crystal structure of the fully grown nanocrystals appears cubic to Rietveld analysis of synchrotron X-ray diffraction data, Raman spectroscopy and pair distribution functionmore »« less

Optical properties of transparent glass–ceramics containing lithium–mica nanocrystals: Crystallization effect

Journal Article Khani, V. ; Alizadeh, P., E-mail: p-alizadeh@modares.ac.ir ; Shakeri, M. S. - Materials Research Bulletin

Graphical abstract: Optical properties of transparent Li{sub 2}O–MgO–Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}–SiO{sub 2}–F glasses containing lithium–mica nanocrystals are studied and crystallization condition has been evaluated and optimized to produce transparent glass–ceramics. Crystallization temperatures were determined by differential thermal analysis and crystalline phases were identified and quantified by X-ray diffraction. Scanning electron microscopy was used for morphological variations and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy for comparative analysis of transparency. In order to investigate the optical properties of transparent glass–ceramics, optical band gap, Fermi energy level and Urbach energy are calculated. The results of the investigation illustrate that band gap is reduced with increases in crystallizationmore »« less
