Measuring Single Crystal Diffuse Neutron Scattering on the Wombat High Intensity Powder Diffractometer

Single crystal diffuse scattering was collected on the Wombat high-intensity powder diffractometer at the OPAL reactor at the Bragg Institute. The difficulty in measuring diffuse scattering comes from its relatively low intensity compared to the Bragg peaks, a factor of 10−10 smaller. Wombat allows collection of diffuse scattering due to its high intensity and large two-dimensional detector. Di...

KWS-2, the high intensity / wide Q-range small-angle neutron diffractometer for soft-matter and biology at FRM II

The KWS-2 small-angle neutron diffractometer operated by JCNS at FRM II is upgraded and optimized towards high intensity and wide Q-range studies of mesoscopic structures and structural changes due to rapid kinetics and becomes a dedicated SANS instrument to soft-matter and biology. The high intensity permits fast measurement of small or weak scattering samples and time resolved structural stud...

XtremeD – a new neutron diffractometer for high pressures and magnetic fields at ILL developed by Spain

Neutron diffraction has unique capabilities for scientific research under extreme conditions, mainly in two large areas: crystallography/geosciences and magnetism/solid-state physics. The growing interest in these fields is attested by the quantity and quality of publications, by the number of experiments proposed at the different neutron sources and by the new instrumentation projects under de...

Neutron Reflectivity investigation of the structure of a phospholipid bilayer membrane using the Advanced Neutron Diffractometer / Reflectometer (AND/R)

Phospholipid bilayer are the basic structural element of biological membranes. They separate the various cell compartments found in eukaryotic cells and form an outer barrier (cell membrane or plasma membrane) of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells separating the cytoplasm from the extra-cellular space. The composition of phospholipid bilayers varies with the cell type and function of the membrane...
