Lindemann glass capillary

For the X-ray scattering observations the samples were powdered and placed in Lindemann glass capillary tubes. The capillaries were held for 8 weeks at 293 K in closed containers in contact either with hexane vapour or with aqueous salt solutions of different relative humidity. At the end of the preparation, the capillary tubes were flame-sealed. X-ray measurements were made at the BM2 bending magnet beam line at the ESRF, Grenoble, France. With incident energy 18 keV, the wave vector range explored was 6x 10 [Pg.44]

A 0.5 mm diameter Lindemann glass capillary of sample I was mounted on the powder diffractometer at station 2.3 at CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory, Synchrotron Radiation Source and room temperature synchrotron X-ray data were collected. The mean wavelength used was 1.2999 A and data were collected from 6 to 80° 20. The diffractometer operated with a Si(lll) monochromator, parallel foils prior to the detector and a scintillation detector. The sample was spun during data collection to minimise preferred orientation and sampling effects. Data were collected on sample II in a similar manner but at a wavelength of 1.3000 A.
