Scientists synthesized & structurally characterized a ln-MOF with nanostructured node disorder.

Structural nanodomains are responsible for important mechanical properties & could be used for applications like gas storage.

"Good day Sir, here are today's options. Would you like anisotropic peak broadening, diffuse streaks, superstructure peaks, or twinning?" "Yes, please"
#Crystallography #totalscattering #TheCuteLittleCrystal
An intricated single-crystal (?) reconstruction of reciprocal space shows main Bragg peaks, streaks crossing them, and satellite peaks arranged in tiny crosses between the main Bragg peaks.

"One crystallographer's trash is another crystallographer's treasure" 💎 🕸️ #diffusescattering #totalscattering #crystallography #MOFs
A single crystal X-ray diffraction image shows a few intensity spots and a distorted web of diffuse, strong intensity streaks.

Why '2dsinθ = nλ' when you can '2rsinθ = λ' ? There's so much more going on across that Ewald 'sphere' shell #crystallography #totalscattering

I'll soon share a nice #singlecrystal #MOF #totalscattering work I've been hatching for a while with some great scientists... but since it's taking a while for seeing it online I thought I'd treat you all with an artistic collage of the data 😏 ...stay tuned! #BraggYourPattern #crystallography
Seven single crystal diffuse scattering patterns are arranged in an hexagonal grid (experimental data): one pattern in the middle, six surrounding it.

#BraggYourPattern #Crystallography #sciart #totalscattering
Fourier transform of the cited fractal. The selected colour scheme is a blend of dark reddish brown, black, and bright blue. The final effect is reminiscent of the bioluminescence of some acquatic sea organisms, emitting bright blue light.

Sneaky correlated disorder in the fabric of Danish train seats... Must have been a choice, and I totally agree 🙂‍↕️ #CasualDisorder #Crystallography #BraggYourPattern #TotalScattering
A fabric with interwoven black and white threads, forming chaotic patterns that however have a systematic preference for diagonal homogeneity

... aaand its Fourier transform 💥 #Braggyourpattern #crystallography #totalscattering #Fouriertransform
Fast Fourier Transform of the cited pattern, showing a network of diagonal streaks and an ensemble of tiny squares of Bragg-looking peaks arranged in square superstructures.

Here it is, pattern nr. 54 #crystallography #totalscattering #Fouriertransform #sciart #Braggyourpattern #specialdefects
Fourier transform of the quoted pattern, showing plenty of dots clustered in a square grid, with systematically weaker spots in the centre of squares.

You're your real self, on a reciprocal spaceship, and you're dashing through reciprocal space at the dangerous speed of 2.2 Bragg planes per second 🚀... everything looks very diffuse, is it just the speed? #reciprocalspacetravel #crystallography #MOFs #totalscattering

Hello everyone. We heard there's a great materials science community on bluesky, so we've entered the arena. We'll be primarily posting educational content on X-ray scattering, synchrotron access, and about measurement opportunities and releases of data analysis tools for the community.

Excited to share our most recent paper! We investigate the structure of LnHOTP, the only proven metallic MOF which induces a charge density wave phase. This tour-de-force contains diffuse scattering, aperiodicity, and high pressure synchrotron XRD.

Evidence for an Electronically Driven Charge Density Wave in a 1D Metallic MOF
Charge density wave (CDW) phases are unconventional quantum states that often arise in low-dimensional metallic systems and are themselves found alongside other exotic phenomena. Finding such states i...

I cannot wait to see how students will interact with my lectures at the coming schools on #crystallography #ECS10 and on #PorousMaterials @mofschool.bsky.social. Will I manage to hypnotize enough of them into starting to practice casual 3D #totalscattering as I did during my PhD? That's the plan 😏🌟
