We Have Seen How <strong>Neutron</strong> <strong>Scattering</strong><br />

Can Determine a Variety of Structures<br />

crystals<br />

X-Ray<br />

β = 3.9(3)<br />

β = 5.2(3)<br />

β = 4.4(2)<br />

β = 3.1(3)<br />

0.20(1)nm<br />

<strong>Neutron</strong><br />

1.9(2)nm a-FeOOH β = 4.4(8)<br />

10.7(2)nm Fe<br />

2.1(2)nm<br />

0.44(2)nm<br />

0.07(1)nm<br />

interface<br />

MgO<br />

but what happens when the a<strong>to</strong>ms are moving?<br />

Can we determine the directions and<br />

time-dependence of a<strong>to</strong>mic motions?<br />

Can well tell whether motions are periodic?<br />

Etc.<br />

β = 8.6(4)<br />

β = 6.9(4)<br />

β = 6.2(5)<br />

surfaces & interfaces disordered/fractals biomachines<br />

These are the types of questions answered<br />

by inelastic neutron scattering
