Why do Neutron Scattering? • To determine the positions and motions of atoms in condensed matter – 1994 Nobel Prize to Shull and Brockhouse cited these areas (see http://www.nobel.se/physics/educational/poster/1994/neutrons.html) • Neutron advantages: – Wavelength comparable with interatomic spacings – Kinetic energy comparable with that of atoms in a solid – Penetrating => bulk properties are measured & sample can be contained – Weak interaction with matter aids interpretation of scattering data – Isotopic sensitivity allows contrast variation – Neutron magnetic moment couples to B => neutron “sees” unpaired electron spins • Neutron Disadvantages – Neutron sources are weak => low signals, need for large samples etc – Some elements (e.g. Cd, B, Gd) absorb strongly – Kinematic restrictions (can’t access all energy & momentum transfers)
