X-ray thermal diffuse scattering as a texture-robust temperature diagnostic for dynamically compressed solids
P. G. Heighway, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +119
We present a model of x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from a cubic polycrystal with an arbitrary crystallographic texture, based on the classic approach of Warren. We compar…

Femtosecond temperature measurements of laser-shocked copper deduced from the intensity of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering
J. S. Wark, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +122
We present 50-fs, single-shot measurements of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from copper foils that have been shocked via nanosecond laser-ablation up to pressures abov…

Negative thermal expansion in transition-metal dicyanides: the hidden role of the underlying diamondoid framework
Quentin Guéroult, Jonathan Bulled, Henry Patteson +5
The transition-metal dicyanides M(CN) (M = Zn, Cd) are amongst the most important negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials known, favoured for the magnitude, isotropy, and th…
