Recovering local structure information from high-pressure total scattering experiments. Herlihy, A., Geddes, H. S., Sosso, G. C., Bull, C. L., Ridley, C. J., Goodwin, A. L., Senn, M. S., & Funnell, N. P. Journal of Applied Crystallography, 54(6):1546–1554, December, 2021.
Paper doi abstract bibtex High pressure is a powerful thermodynamic tool for exploring the structure and the phase behaviour of the crystalline state, and is now widely used in conventional crystallographic measurements. High-pressure local structure measurements using neutron diffraction have, thus far, been limited by the presence of a strongly scattering, perdeuterated, pressure-transmitting medium (PTM), the signal from which contaminates the resulting pair distribution functions (PDFs). Here, a method is reported for subtracting the pairwise correlations of the commonly used 4:1 methanol:ethanol PTM from neutron PDFs obtained under hydrostatic compression. The method applies a molecular-dynamics-informed empirical correction and a non-negative matrix factorization algorithm to recover the PDF of the pure sample. Proof of principle is demonstrated, producing corrected high-pressure PDFs of simple crystalline materials, Ni and MgO, and benchmarking these against simulated data from the average structure. Finally, the first local structure determination of α-quartz under hydrostatic pressure is presented, extracting compression behaviour of the real-space structure.
