HIPPO's sample chamber also accomodates user-provided sample environments. The exceptionally high data rates of HIPPO also make it useful for time-resolved studies. HIPPO was designed and manufactured as a joint effort between LANSCE and the University of California with the goal of doing world-class science by making neutron powder diffractometry an accessible tool to the national user community.ĭ-spacing ranges from 0.12-4.80 Å (1.31-52.4 Å-1) to 1.2-47.5 Å (0.13-5.3 Å-1) are available to support studies of crystal orientation distribution (texture), amorphous solids, liquids, magnetic diffraction, small crystalline samples, and samples subjected to non-ambient environments such as temperature above (~20K) ambient temperature or magnetic fields (<1.5T). It achieves very high neutron count rates by virtue of a short (9 m) initial flight path on a high-intensity water moderator and 1200 3He detector tubes covering 4.8 m 2 of detector area from 40° to 150° in scattering angles. Neutron Powder Diffraction Facility Powdered crystalline sample being loaded in NPDF. A baromagnetic effect in a novel tetragonal magnetic structure is introduced by vacancies in Mn 3 Ga 0.95 N 0.94, due to the change of the MnMn distance and their spin re-orientation induced by a pressure field.This effect is proven for the first time in antiperovskite compounds by neutron powder diffraction analysis. The data was taken on the D1a powder diffractometer at the ILL, Grenoble, France using 1.909Å wavelength neutrons. Our data confirm magnetic ordering below T-c 1.9 K. The structure is cubic with four different atomic sites two of which are occupied by both iron and aluminum. We present a neutron powder diffraction study on TmCuAl, crystallizing in the ZrNiAl-type hexagonal structure. HIPPO - High-Pressure-Preferred Orientation is the first third-generation neutron time-of-flight powder diffractometer constructed in the United States.
