Structure factors of random hard disk packing in 2D by explicit modeling

Structure factors of randomly packed disks in 2D equivalent to parallel cylinders are given as a function of the area fraction. This structure factor can be used to interpret scattering features from densely packed fibrous systems.

Differences in hierarchical structural changes between unoriented P(3HB) and P(3HB-co-3HH) under stretching

The introduction of 3-hy­droxy­hexano­ate (3HH) to eco-friendly polymer poly[(R)-3-hy­droxy­butyrate] [P(3HB)] was found to reduce both the density fluctuations on the submicrometre scale and the stability of crystals using in situ X-ray scattering, resulting in the reduction of brittleness.

Designing a dataset for convolutional neural networks to predict space groups consistent with extinction laws

The deep learning method is used to achieve space-group prediction consistent with extinction laws. The trained model presents a much stronger generalization capability than previously reported models.

A machine-learning-driven data labeling pipeline for scientific analysis in MLExchange

A web-based labeling pipeline is introduced that accelerates the annotation of large scientific data sets with artificial intelligence (AI) guided tagging techniques.

Strain-induced density fluctuations in linear low-density polyethyl­ene

This study investigated how comonomer species and content affect strain-induced density fluctuations in linear low-density polyethyl­ene. It was found that increased spatial homogeneity before stretching, influenced by the type and amount of comonomer, suppressed the strength of density fluctuation induction during strain.

3DStrainOrientationCalculator: a 3D diffraction data analysis tool for single-crystal substructure information extraction

The program 3DSOC provides a new way of extracting single-crystal substructure information from monochromatic neutron diffractometer data.

Linearization routines for the parameter space concept to determine crystal structures without Fourier inversion

The novel linearization routines within the parameter space concept (PSC) provide an alternative approach to determine one-dimensionally projected crystal structures from rather few diffraction intensities of standard Bragg reflections, represented by piecewise analytic hyper-surfaces, without the use of Fourier inversion. By the intersection of linearized isosurface segments of multiple reflections, the PSC accurately pinpoints the atomic coordinates and explores both homometric and quasi-homometric solutions in a single analysis.

PolymCrystIndex: a package for automated fiber pattern indexing

This study introduces an innovative software package that automates fiber pattern indexing leveraging the power of genetic algorithms.

Synthesis and quantum crystallographic evaluation of WYLID: YLID's red rival

The synthesis and quantum crystallographic analysis of the chemical bonding within WYLID, 2-(di­methyl-λ4-sulfane­ylidene)-[1,2′-bi­indenyl­idene]-1′,3,3′(2H)-trione, a condensation product of YLID which is the most widely used calibrant for laboratory diffractometers, is presented. An ylid-type description of the S—C bond and a carbonyl-type description of the C—O bonds in WYLID is found in all aspects of the analysis.
