Hot neutron four-circle diffractometer D9

The diffractometer D9 is used for precise and accurate measurements of Bragg intensities up to very high momentum transfer. The resolution allows routine recording of extended data sets for the detailed study of atomic disorder and atomic thermal motions.

For structural analysis beyond the determination of average atomic positions, high resolution nuclear density maps are required. D9 is ideally suited for this purpose. Because of the short wavelength very small atomic displacements can be identified, accurate to typically 0.001 Å. A two-dimensional multidetector is employed. Various models of anharmonicity are used, involving many parameters which can only be determined by including reflections at high momentum transfers.
