| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the present project was to investigate structures of molten salts by neutron diffraction measurement and molecular dymanics simulation. The following items have been elucidated.
1. A nickel metal cell has been developed for neutron diffraction measurement of highly corrosive molten salts. Large scattering intensities by the nickel metal cell could be satisfactorily subtracted from the observed total intensities. 2. Neutron diffraction measurements have been performed successfully for alkali hydroxides(LiOD, NaOD, and KOD) using nickel metal cell. The structure factors and their Fourier trnsformations reveal that the polyatomic ion can possess an effective ionic radius. The cell was also applied to molten carbonate. 3. Molecular dynamics simulation for molten lithium hydroxide elucidated anisotropic coordination structures of Li^+ and OH^- ions around an OH^- ion and three dimensional framework structures of the melt. 4. The isotropic substitution method has been applied to molten ammonium nitrate and lithium nitrate.
