Investigation of the changes in hydrogen bonding accompanying the structural reorganization at 103 K in ammonium iodate (2019)
Journal Article

Neutron powder diffraction has been used to observe the changes in hydrogen bonding that occur as a function of temperature in ND4IO3 and, thus, determine the structural features that occur during the low-temperature (103 K) phase transition. It is s... Read More about Investigation of the changes in hydrogen bonding accompanying the structural reorganization at 103 K in ammonium iodate.
