Measuring stoichiometry in the lithium amide-imide solid solution with negative muons
Abstract: The lithium amide-imide solid solution has been shown to have promising properties for application in solid state hydrogen storage and ammonia decomposition catalysis. However, relatively little is known about the properties of the solid solution itself. A key step in understanding the system is a obtaining a reliable measure of the average stoichiometry of a sample. To date, it has proven difficult to achieve this with diffraction methods alone. Here, we request four days of experimental time on Port 4 at RIKEN to test the use of the X-ray spectrum from the decay of negative muons implanted into a series of lithium amide-imide samples as a method for determining their average stoichiometry. These data will be used as the basis for an investigation of the composition-dependent properties of the system.
