In situ neutron powder diffraction and structure determination in controlled humidities

Valeska P. Ting, Paul F. Henry, Marc Schmidtmann, Chick C. Wilson and Mark T. Weller


A controlled-humidity sample environment has been constructed, allowing bulk powder samples undergoing humidity-induced phase transitions and reactions to be studied via in situ neutron diffraction. Associated developments in data collection and analysis permit this to be achieved without the use of D2O.
