An entry from the Cambridge Structural Database, the world’s repository for small molecule crystal structures. The entry contains experimental data from a crystal diffraction study. The deposited dataset for this entry is freely available from the CCDC and typically includes 3D coordinates, cell parameters, space group, experimental conditions and quality measures.
An overview of the studies of structural characteristics of nanomaterials and nanosystems, performed by neutron scattering methods, is presented. The considered examples include optically active oxide materials, biological systems and solutions for track membrane etching. It is shown that features of structural organization at the nanoscale, including cluster formation, aggregation and packing modification, play an important role in the formation of the physical properties of materials.
