ABSTRACT
We present a method which allows high-quality powder neutron diffraction patterns to be obtained under pressure by angle-dispersive diffraction to at least 10 GPa. This technique uses a new type of Parisâ€“Edinburgh press in conjunction with sintered boron nitride anvils. As an example, we show NiO diffraction patterns obtained under purely hydrostatic pressures up to 10 GPa. These data were collected within a few hours, and are free from any contaminating signal from the pressure cell. High-resolution nuclear and magnetic structural information can be readily extracted by Rietveld refinements, without additional data correction. This technique will allow powder neutron diffraction at elevated pressures to become a standard tool on continuous neutron facilities.

X-ray and neutron diffractions, vibrational spectroscopy, and x-ray Raman scattering and absorption experiments on water are often interpreted in terms of hydrogen bonding. To this end a number of geometric definitions of hydrogen bonding in water have been developed. While all definitions of...
