SIZE/STRAIN DIFFRACTION PEAK BROADENING OF THE ENERGETIC MATERIALS HMX, CL-20 AND FOX-12

摘要

X-ray powder diffraction is an established tool for the investigation of energetic materials. Whereas positions and intensities of diffraction peaks yield information of the crystal structure the peak profiles are related to the real structure described by crystallite size, shape and micro strain. A series of energetic materials have been measured at the synchrotron ANKA, amongst them ALEX, RDX, HMX, ADN, CL-20, FOX-7 and FOX-12. The presentation shows the results of HMX, CL-20 and FOX-12.
