Titanium Evolution and Nickel Restoration Under Neutron Irradiation in Ni/Ti Multilayers
Nmi multilayers are used as supermirrors for neutron guides. These multilayers are submitted to neutron irradiation. In order to determine the effect of irradiation on supermirrors performances we studied Ni/'Ti multilayers irradiated with thermal neutrons. We present here the results obtained by neutron reflectivity, X-ray diffraction and EXAFS on one sample. It has been found that the supermi...
متن کاملDevelopment of highly-mechanically polished metal-substrate for neutron supermirrors
An aspherical supermirror is one of the most useful neutron-focusing optics. We aim to develop multiple aspherical supermirror devices using high-precision figured aspherical focusing supermirrors to focus neutron beams with high intensities, because multiple mirrors collect a very large beam divergence. Thin mirrors with a millimeter thickness are required to minimize the absorption loss of in...
متن کاملOne-dimensional neutron focusing with large beam divergence by 400mm-long elliptical supermirror
Reflective optics is one of the most useful techniques for focusing a neutron beam with a wide wavelength range since there is no chromatic aberration. Neutrons can be focused within a small area of less than 1 mm 2 by high-performance aspherical supermirrors with high figure accuracy and a low smooth substrate surface and a multilayer interface. Increasing the mirror size is essential for incr...
متن کاملEffects of linear birefringence and polarization-dependent loss of supermirrors in cavity ring-down spectroscopy.
In cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS), residual or stress-induced birefringence (10(-7)-10(-6) rad) of supermirrors will lift the polarization degeneracy of TEM(00) modes and generate two new polarization eigenstates in the cavity with small resonant frequency splitting (approximately 0.1 kHz); the new eigenstates are nearly linearly polarized. When both modes are excited simultaneously, the ...
متن کاملProduction of ultra cold neutrons by a doppler shifter with pulsed neutrons at J-PARC
Ultracold neutrons (UCNs) are neutrons whose kinetic energy is around a few hundred nanoelectronvolts. Neutrons with such small kinetic energy can be trapped in a material vessel or magnetic fields. Because of these unique characteristics, UCNs are used for some important experiments of fundamental physics. The Doppler shifter is a device to produce UCN by slowing them down by the reflection on...
