The analysis of Selected Area Diffraction (SAD) patterns that are collected from a single phase material having sufficient crystallites to provide continuous rings is relatively straightforward. However, when this condition is not met and there may be several phases present having rings of a spotty nature, the pattern is complex and can be quite difficult to analyze manually because of the vast number of discrete spots. WinJade from MDI is an X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis program with an Electron Diffraction Program Module (EDPM) that can be used to aid in the analysis of SAD patterns. The EDPM produces Integrated Circular Density Plots (ICDP), which are one-dimensional intensity profiles plotted as a function of equivalent XRD 20 values or crystal d-spacings. These ICDP's can be overlayed with XRD patterns or with reference lines from the NIST and JCPDS crystalline databases for direct comparisons.

A series of dihydroxysilicon phthalocyanines having soluble side chains were synthesized and their bulk-state polymerization capability was investigated. Detailed spectroscopic study of the obtained phthalocyaninato-polysiloxanes revealed that strong electron donating ability and small steric hindrance of the peripheral substituents are the dominant factors to afford high-molecular weight polymers. The polymers show the behaviors of columnar liquid crystal (LC), which is clarified by the presence of clear X-ray diffraction patterns with a hexagonal lattice and birefringent textures in polarized optical microscopy. Because of the siloxane covalent bonds through central silicon atoms, phthalocyaninato-polysiloxanes accommodate one-dimensional phthalocyanine arrays with strong π-electronic couplings, thus exhibiting colmnar LC property even for the derivatives carrying short peripheral chains and leading to the relatively higher density of π-electron systems in the materials. This tendency is different from typical discotic small molecules that require optimum side chain structures for LC formation.

Silicon carbide crystallizes into several structural modifications whose c-periodicities vary from 1 nm to more than 100 nm. Its high period structures are found to consist of intergrowth of smaller period structures at the unit cell level. The X-ray diffraction studies show that SiC crystals often possess one-dimensional disorder which is characterized by continuous streaks in X-ray diffraction patterns along ho.1 reciprocal lattice rows. However, it is shown that these streaks can also arise as a result of extremely high c-periodicities of the crystals as their ho.1 spots cannot be resolved easily. This contribution reports the observation of only few representative cases of so-called one-dimensional disordered crystals as observed in their X-ray and electron diffractions with lattice imaging.

The classical formalism for studying diffraction from helical structures extended to include ligand binding is presented. The diffraction from such a binding pattern is the convolution of the Fourier transforms of the helix and the one-dimensional binding distribution. It is shown in the present analysis that it is not necessary to assume that the binding distribution is strictly periodic, as long as its Fourier transform can be determined. Analysis of the convolution gives a general expression for the diffracted intensities and the selection rule for the layer-lines. It shows two groups of layer-lines: one group is the familiar layer-line set from the original helix, while the other group shows reciprocal spacings shifted by 1/a from the original helix layer-lines, where a is the average repeat of the binding distribution. This group of layer-lines is contributed by the ligand only. By way of examples, calculated diffraction patterns from muscle actin filaments with bound myosin heads in three different binding patterns are presented. This approach provides a method for determining the ligand-binding distribution along helices by an analysis of their X-ray diffraction patterns.

Low- and high-angle X-ray diffraction patterns have been obtained from one-dimensional superlattice crystals prepared artificially by alternately depositing predetermined thicknesses of GaAs and AlAs, on the (001) face of a GaAs single-crystal by molecular-beam epitaxy. The positions and intensities of several superlattice reflections obtained along the 00l, 11l and 02l reciprocal lattice rows have been recorded. The structure of the superlattice can be approximated by a model which incorporates elastic strains in the unit cell due to the lattice mismatch between GaAs and AlAs. The number of Ga and Al layers in the superlattice unit cell can be accurately determined from the low-angle scattering data while the relative intensities of the high-angle superlattice reflections are a sensitive measure of the elastic strain present in the lattice. It is shown that the elastic strain agrees with the value computed theoretically on the assumption that the strain is not relieved by dislocations at the GaAs–AlAs interfaces.

Simulation of X-ray diffraction patterns on the basis of the models of one-dimensional disordered crystals was used to investigate the structure of the dehydrated phase produced by dehydration of Mg–Al and Ni–Al layered double hydroxides at a temperature of ∼473–498 K. It was found that the removal of water molecules transforms the initial structure, which is a mixture of 3R1and 2H1polytypes, into a structure that comprises preferentially fragments of 3R2and 1Hpolytypes and has some turbostratic disorder.

Abstract While trying to react NbBr5 with sulfur in a closed tube, crystals of the new modification β-NbBr5 were obtained. Its X-ray diffraction patterns have sharp reflexions and diffuse streaks showing the presence of a one-dimensional disorder. From the sharp reflexions alone, a statistically averaged sub-structure results; it has the space group Ccmm and the lattice constants a0 = 644, b0 = 1867 and c0 = 615 pm. Taking into account the diffuse streaks, the true structure was deduced; its lattice constants are a = 2a0, c = Co, b indefinite due to the disorder. β-NbBr5 is isostructural to tantalum pentaiodide. It consists of layers of (NbBr5)2 molecules that are stacked with displacement faults in the direction of b. The bromine atoms have a hexagonal close-packing arrangement.
