BL17: Elastic Diffuse Scattering Neutron Diffractometer (planning)

Date: 2021-05-19 Author:

The elastic diffuse scattering neutron diffractometer mainly conducts single crystal diffraction experiments. The neutron wavelength is from 0.5  to 3.5 . The detector angle spans from -15° to 145°, and thus the Q range is from 0.5 to 23-1. This instrument is typically designed to realize the energy resolution through the correlation chopper, while extracting the pure elastic diffuse scattering signal that only reflects the structural characteristics.

 

Applications:

 

Study the local structure of single crystal samples, defects, short-range order (associated disorder), etc.

 

Materials science: giant magnetoresistance materials, ferroelectric relaxation materials;

 

Condensed matter physics: geometric frustration systems, high-temperature superconductors, quantum critical phenomena.
