|
| Neutron Techniques |
Crystallography The diffraction of neutrons from a crystalline sample
furnishes
information about the structural arrangement of the atoms
that compose
it. |
| Reflectometry probes the nanoscale structure of surfaces and
interfaces |
| Small Angle Neutron Scattering is a powerful method for characterizing the
nanoscale structure of solids, liquids, plastics, and
macromolecules. |
| Spectroscopy The energy scale of neutrons ( meV ) makes them ideal probes of
the dynamics of materials. |
| Chemical Analysis Several nuclear methods are used at the NCNR, including prompt-gamma neutron
activation analysis, instrumental neutron activation analysis, and cold-neutron depth
profiling |
| Other Methods Neutron interferometry, neutron radiography, and
fundamental physics using neutrons are
active research areas at the NCNR |
|
| |
The Center For High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS),
supported by the National Science Foundation and NIST, is an important component of the NCNR, providing users with
access to six neutron scattering instruments.
|
| Cold Neutrons for Biology and Technology (CNBT)
is a bioengineering research partnership funded by the National Insitutes of Health. The CNBT operates the
AND/R reflectometer to investigate the structure of membranes.

PLEASE NOTE!
The operating cycle that was scheduled for Aug. 20 - Sept. 27 will not be run.
Instead, previously planned maintenance work will begin immediately, and
we anticipate that the next operating cycle will start in November 2004.
Also note that the next proposal deadline has been moved up by one week. It is now September 23,
rather than the previously posted date of September 30.
