Interplanar Spacings. Diffractometer alignment procedures require the use of a well-prepared polycrystalline specimen. Two standard samples found to be suitable are silicon and a-quartz (including Novaculite). The 26 values of several of the most intense reflections for these materials are listed in Table 7.6 (Tables of Interplanar Spacings d vs. Diffraction Angle 26 for Selected Targets, Picker Nuclear, White Plains, N.Y., 1966). To convert to d for Ka or to d for Ka2, multiply the tabulated d value (Table 7.6) for Ka by the factor given below ... 

The dispersing elemenf is usually a diffraction grating or an inferferomefer wifh a beamsplitter made from silicon-coafed or germanium-coafed quartz or calcium fluoride. 

Amorphous silica, ie, silicon dioxide [7631-86-9] Si02, does not have a crystalline stmcture as defined by x-ray diffraction measurements. Amorphous silica, which can be naturally occurring or synthetic, can be either surface-hydrated or anhydrous. Synthetic amorphous silica can be broadly divided into two categories of stable materials (1) vitreous silica or glass (qv), which is made by fusing quart2 at temperatures greater than approximately 1700°C (see Silica, vitreous silica), and microamorphous silica, which is discussed herein. 

Wark, Whitlock, and co-workers [72]-[75] extend these ideas in shock compression of < 111 >-oriented silicon single crystals. The method of producing the shock wave differs from previous X-ray diffraction studies, but the basic concepts are the same. Higher X-ray fluences result in a time resolution of 0.05-0.1 ns. This permits a sequence of exposures at various irradiances and delay times, thus mapping the interatomic spacing of the shock-compressed surface as a function of time. 

The starting material and shock-activated powder were mixed with 5-wt% MgO and heated for various periods. At the end of each period the phase content of the samples was determined with x-ray diffraction. In this environment it is thought that the phase is formed by a dissolution-precipitation process as shown in Fig. 7.8. As indicated in Fig. 7.9, the shock-activated silicon nitride displays substantially enhanced dissolution rates that are strongly dependent on shock pressure between 22 and 27 GPa. 

Structural data from X-ray- and electron-diffraction studies, mass spectra, and MO calculations were analyzed for R3SiCo(CO)4 (R = H, F, Cl) and Me3SiMn(CO)5 it was believed that there is partial double-bond character between Si and Co and that there may be intramolecular interaction between the axial silicon atom and the equatorial carbonyl groups 30, 212). 

Ge) for the electron diffraction measurements was carried out by thermal reaction of silicon (1200°C, 1 Torr) or germanium (620-660°C, 1 Torr) with the corresponding tetrahalides MX4 or hexahalides M2X6 (Shultz et al., 1979 Schultz et al., 1982 Hargittai et al., 1983). 

It is found that the tetra-isoamylphosphonium cation does not take a roughly spherical shape but accommodates an iodide ion 480 pm from the phosphorus atom. Neutron diffraction of phosphonium bromide crystals shows no evidence of hydrogen-bonding. The ructures of bis(trimethylphosphine)silicon tetrachloride and the iridium salt (134) are also reported. 

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern for sample D is shown in Figure 5. D(lll) and D(220) denote the diffraction peaks of the diamond plane. The diffraction peaks of the silicon... 

The structures of compounds 55a,c and 56a,c were established by means of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Due to the different polarity of the C=N and C=P triple bonds, the silicon ring atom in 55a,c is bound to the nitrogen atom, and in 56a,c to the carbon atom of the C=P moiety. The molecular structure of 55a was further determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (Fig. 16).14 The four-membered SiNAsC framework is slightly puckered (folding angle N—Si—C/Si—C—As 7°), and...
