Neutron Instruments & Techniques: Session 1
- Kathleen Wood (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation)
The ACNS has a number of spectrometers that are successfully operated in the cold and thermal neutron regime. Interestingly the OPAL reactor is also designed with a position available for a hot source in the reflector vessel, and with two beam-ports available, HB1 and HB2, to deliver hot neutrons. A wide range of studies that will be achievable due to the larger range covered in Q−ω space if...
The National Deuteration Facility (NDF) at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) provides deuteration through both biological and chemical techniques for a diversity of molecules and applications and is the only facility of its type in the Southern Hemisphere with the specialised expertise and infrastructure for both biological and chemical molecular deuteration. ...
The mechanical and functional properties of polycrystalline materials have significant contributions from the 3D interaction of grains that form their micro-structure. Such grain maps can be extracted from existing characterisation techniques that utilise X-rays or electrons. However, complimentary techniques using neutrons have not yet developed to maturity. Furthermore, neutrons provide...
The sample environment suite at ACNS has continued to grow. In the last year we have successfully commissioned our new helium dilution cryostat and the 7T magnet. The magnet has brought important capability for experiments requiring magnetic field to Pelican. We will talk about these new capabilities, how to get the best out of our suite of equipment and some recent unique and interesting...
