This chapter reviews nonresonant, meV-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS), as applied
to the measurement of atomic dynamics of crystalline materials. It, in conjunction with a …

Plant fibers such as linen are remarkably stiff materials in the longitudinal direction of the
fiber. As plant cell walls are composites made of cellulose nanocrystals, the so-called …

Determining the sound velocity of iron under extreme thermodynamic conditions is essential
for a proper interpretation of seismic observations of the Earth's core but is experimentally …

Polyhedral distortion, associated closely with the atomic arrangement and interatomic
interactions, drives many unique behaviors in solids, such as phase transition and negative …

Seismic discontinuities in Earth typically arise from structural, chemical, or temperature
variations with increasing depth. The pressure-induced iron spin state transition in the lower …

We performed room-temperature sound velocity and density measurements on a
polycrystalline alloy, Fe0. 89Ni0. 04Si0. 07, in the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) phase up …

We report on the development of an embedded-atom interatomic potential representing
basic properties of both the hcp and the fcc phases of cobalt with nearly equal accuracy. The …

The melting line of cobalt has been investigated both experimentally, using synchrotron X-
ray diffraction coupled with laser-heated diamond anvil cells, and theoretically, using ab …

Inelastic X-ray scattering with meV energy resolution (IXS) is an ideal tool to measure
collective excitations in solids and liquids. In non-resonant scattering condition, the cross …

We performed sound velocity and density measurements on polycrystalline hexagonal close-
packed (hcp) iron at simultaneous high pressure and high temperature, up to 93GPa and …
