Neutron scattering techniques as a tool for non- destructive testing

Neutron scattering techniques, such as neutron diffraction, small angle neutron scattering and neutron reflectometry consist very powerful tools for the non-destructive study of materials. At the Greek Research Reactor, GRR-1, a number of neutron scattering methods are employed and developed. In the present contribution, a short description of the methods and facilities is given, as well as som...

A SANS Experiment to Understand the Nature of Surfactant stabilization in Suspensions of Spherical Colloidal Silica Particles Summer School on Neutron Scattering and Reflectometry from Submicron Structures

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) will be used to determine the structures formed by a surfactant additive to a system of spherical silica particles dispersed in water. The measurements will illustrate the advantage of neutron scattering using contrast variation technique. All aspects of the experiment, from the sample preparation and instrument setup through to the data treatment and inter...

Neutron scattering—The key characterization tool for nanostructured magnetic materials

The novel properties of materials produced using nanoscale manufacturing processes often arise from interactions across interfaces between dissimilar materials. Thus, to characterize the structure and magnetism of nanoscale materials demands tools with interface specificity. Neutron scattering has long been known to provide unique and quantitative information about nuclear and magnetic structur...

Compact Pulsed Hadron Source - a University-based Accelerator Platform for Multidisciplinary Neutron and Proton Applications*

During the past decades, large-scale national neutron sources were developed in Asia, Europe, and North America. Complementing such efforts, compact hadron beam complexes and neutron sources intended to serve primarily universities and industrial institutes were proposed and some have recently been established. Responding to the demand in China for multidisciplinary fundamental and applied rese...
