The complete elastic stiffness tensor of thiourea has been determined from thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) using high-energy photons (100 keV). Comparison with earlier data confirms a very good agreement of the tensor coefficients. In contrast with established methods to obtain elastic stiffness coefficients ( Brillouin spectroscopy, inelastic X-ray or neutron scattering, ultrasound spectroscopy), their determination from TDS is faster, does not require large samples or intricate sample preparation, and is applicable to opaque crystals. Using high-energy photons extends the applicability of the TDS-based approach to organic compounds which would suffer from radiation damage at lower photon energies.
已利用高能光子(100 keV)通过热漫散射(TDS)测定了硫脲的完整弹性刚度张量。与早期数据的比较证实了张量系数的良好一致性。与获取弹性刚度系数的既定方法(布里渊光谱法、非弹性X射线或中子散射、超声光谱法)相比,通过TDS测定弹性刚度系数更快,不需要大尺寸样品或复杂的样品制备,并且适用于不透明晶体。使用高能光子扩展了基于TDS的方法对有机化合物的适用性,因为这些有机化合物在较低光子能量下会受到辐射损伤。
