Summary

Find the pressure of a sample given the dSpacing of the lead peak at 111.

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
DSpacing Input number 2.8589 Position of (111) reflection in dSpacing
T Input number 300 Sample temperature in K
TargetPressure Input number 0 Optional: search for (111) position for a given pressure (GPa) and temperature, leave at default value to disable.

Description

This algorithm uses Equations of state for Lead (111) to calculate the pressure of a given sample. The required inputs are the dSpacing (A) of the Lead (111) Bragg peak and the reference temperature (K).

Optionally, a further input of Target pressure (GPa) can be given, which will find the corresponding dSpacing for the pressure at the provided reference temperature.

Usage

Example:

from mantid.simpleapi import LeadPressureCalc

LeadPressureCalc(dSpacing=2.85, T=312, TargetPressure=0.0043)
