The NIST Cold Neutron Research Facility
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Cold Neutron Research Facility (CNRF) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Research Reactor (NBSR) is now coming on line, with the first seven experimental stations operational, and more stations scheduled to be installed during 1992. The present article provides an introduction to the facility, and to other articles in the current issue that give more details on some of the research opportunities that the facility will bring to NIST.

متن کاملUltra-High Resolution Inelastic Neutron Scattering
Two types of ultra high energy resolution neutron scattering instruments, the backscattering spectrometer and the spin echo spectrometer, are described. Examples of the types of research which can be done with these instruments are given and plans for a cold neutron backscattering spectrometer which will be built in the NIST Cold Neutron Research Facility (CNRF) are discussed. It is hoped that ...
متن کاملApparatus for Neutron Scattering Measurements on Sheared Fluids
We report on the construction of an apparatus to allow neutron scattering measurements on fluids undergoing shear. The apparatus has been used with the cold neutron small-angle-neutron-scattering (SANS) spectrometer at the NIST research reactor and will be made available to users as a permanent part of the NIST facility.
متن کاملNeutron Depth Profiling: Overview and Description of NIST Facilities
The Cold Neutron Depth Profiling (CNDP) instrument at the NIST Cold Neutron Research Facility (CNRF) is now operational. The neutron beam originates from a 16 L D2O ice cold source and passes through a filter of 135 mm of single crystal sapphire. The neutron energy spectrum may be described by a 65 K Maxwellian distribution. The sample chamber configuration allows for remote controlled scanning...
متن کاملNeutron Time-of-Flight Spectroscopy
The time-of-flight technique is employed in two of the instruments at the NIST Cold Neutron Research Facility (CNRF). A pulsed monochromatic beam strikes the sample, and the energies of scattered neutrons are determined from their times-of-flight to an array of detectors. The time-of-flight method may be used in a variety of types of experiments such as studies of vibrational and magnetic excit...
