Small-angle Neutron Scattering, from Angstroms to almost Microns and Back Again.

ORAL  · Invited

Abstract

Neutron scattering is powerful technique for investigating material characteristics. Small-angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) is used to study large scale structures varying from 1 to 500 nanometers. I will present a few examples on how SANS can be used to investigate different properties of materials ranging from alloys to magnetic materials. I will also give a quick overview of other neutron instruments available for users at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
