To be able to study mass-limited samples and small single crystals, a triple resonance micro-magic angle spinning (μMAS) probehead for the application of high-resolution solid-state NMR of nanoliter samples was developed.

Well-shaped small single crystals of the orthorhombic perovskites YScO3 and LaScO3 were grown from mixtures of the corresponding sesquioxides RE2O3 in PbO/PbF2 fluxes. Both structures were refined from single-crystal diffractometer data: GdFeO3-type, Pnma, a = 570.68(7), b = 789.3(1), c = 542.44(7) pm, wR2 = 0.0363, 448 F2 values for Y0.96ScO2.94, and a = 579.68(9), b = 810.3(2), c = 568.3(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0387, 513 F2 values for La0.94ScO2.91, with 32 variables per refinement. The 4c rare-earth sites of both perovskites show small defects which are charge-compensated by defects on both oxygen sites, leading to the compositions La0.94ScO2.91 and Y0.96ScO2.94 for the investigated crystals. The rare-earth sites have been characterized by 89Y and 45Sc magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR. The 45Sc quadrupolar interaction parameters extracted from these spectra by simulations are found to be in good agreement with those obtained from DFT calculations of the electric field gradient.

In polyethylene single crystals pairs of black and white lines spaced 700-3,000Å apart, parallel to the [100] and [010] directions, have been identified as microsector boundaries. A microsector is formed when the plane of chain folding changes over a small distance within a polymer crystal. In order for the different types of folds to accommodate at the boundary between the 2 fold domains, a staggering along the chain direction and a rotation of the chains in the plane of the boundary occurs. The black-white contrast from a microsector boundary can be explained in terms of these chain rotations. We demonstrate that microsectors can terminate within the crystal and interpret the observed terminal strain contrast in terms of a screw dislocation dipole model.
