Neutron Techniques |
Crystallography The diffraction of neutrons from a crystalline sample furnishes
information about the structural arrangement of the atoms that compose
it. |
Reflectometry probes the nanoscale structure of surfaces and
interfaces |
Small Angle Neutron Scattering is a powerful method for characterizing the
nanoscale structure of solids, liquids, plastics, and
macromolecules. |
Spectroscopy The energy scale of neutrons ( meV ) makes them ideal probes of
the dynamics of materials. |
Chemical Analysis Several nuclear methods are used at the NCNR, including prompt-gamma neutron
activation analysis, instrumental neutron activation analysis, and cold-neutron depth
profiling |
Other Methods Neutron interferometry,
neutron radiography, and
fundamental physics using neutrons are
active research areas at the NCNR |
|
|
The Center For High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS),
supported by the National Science Foundation and NIST, is an important component of the NCNR, providing users with
access to six neutron scattering instruments.
