Dynamical properties of NH4BH4 studied using quasielastic neutron scattering

Abstract: The proposed quasi elastic neutron scattering experiment at ISIS aims at the characterization of the dynamical properties of ammonium borohydride, NH4BH4, which possess the highest gravimetric H density (ca. 25 wt.%) of any chemical compound. The H disordered crystal structure is composed of the tetrahedral complex ions NH4+ and BH4-, which are arranged as in the fcc NaCl structure. Recent investigations revealed the presence of dynamic disorder, corresponding to very rapid reorientation of both ions, in the temperature range 100 – 250 K. The proposed experiment will examine the dynamics of both NH4+ and BH4- to see how they correlate and develop with respect to temperature.
