Neutrons Coordinator: Nancy Ross, VT 2004 COMPRES Annual Meeting
2
Goals of COMPRES Neutrons: Identify and broaden the EAR neutron scattering community in the U.S. Stimulate and promote the use of neutron scattering in the Earth Sciences. Support educational activities Identify needs of the community, including future requirements for instrumentation and sources

High-pressure Neutron Powder Diffraction at ISIS Ferroelastic phase transition Paris-Edinburgh cell New gasket design that extends hydrostatic pressure range to 9 GPa (Marshall and Francis, 2002: J Appl. Cryst. 35, 122-125) 2 samples to 6 GPa, 48 hours Ross Angel 2004

Ferroelastic phase transition in lead phosphate Neutron powder diffraction showed: High pressure phase has same symmetry as high temperature (R-3m) High pressure phase has disordered atoms above the phase transition This static disorder is suppressed at higher pressures Model system for perovskites, garnets, feldspars and titanites. Ross Angel 2004

5000-ton large-volume press in Bayreuth Size of high P-T mantle minerals and neutron fluxes are merging... and neutron fluxes are merging... A collaboration between COMPRES participants: Steve Jacobsen (Geophysical Laboratory) Daniel Frost (Bayerisches Geoinstitut) Joseph Smyth (University of Colorado) e.g. hydrous wadsleyite: (containing ~1 wt% H 2 O) 3 mm quench 0.5-1.0 mm sized grains
