High pressure neutron powder diffraction: The neutron scattering aspects of work with the Paris-Edinburgh cell

Abstract
The development of appropriate procedures to maximise data quality and to make accurate data corrections is vital if reliable structural data are to be obtained at high pressure. As a result, the development of the Paris-Edinburgh high-pressure neutron cell has included considerable effort on neutron-scattering techniques. The procedures developed are described, and their importance in obtaining accurate structural information at high pressure is illustrated by recent results.
