Neutron diffraction

Neutron diffraction represents the best experimental method to obtain accurate and precise atomic coordinates and displacement parameters for hydrogen atoms. This is particularly important for charge density studies and for temperature-dependent diffraction experiments which focus on H atom mobility or phase transitions connected with H atom ordering.
