Diffractometers have been around for a long time and are used to analyze various types of materials and provide information regarding their structure. While there are a few different types, we’re ...

Neutron diffraction and small-angle neutron scattering techniques can assess residual stress in and the microstructure of hydrocarbon pipelines. Neutron diffraction and small-angle neutron scattering ...

In the 1940s, researchers discovered that neutrons could serve as tools for measuring nuclear properties and determining the atomic and magnetic structures of materials. The first nuclear reactors, ...

Neutron imaging is a non-destructive technique for analysing the structure of a sample. The basic principle is similar to that of X ray radiography: a beam of neutrons passes through the sample and is ...
