Neutron Instruments & Techniques

Oral

Neutron reflectometry is a powerful technique for studying the structure of surfaces and interfaces at the nanometer. The useful properties of neutrons allows for isotopic contrast variation in multi-component systems and being able to investigate phenomena under a wide variety of sample environments. At the OPAL Research Reactor there is currently one operating neutron reflectometer –...

Neutron Instruments & Techniques

Oral

In the past 2 years since the 2016 AANSS symposium, the sample environment group of the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering (ACNS) has continued to facilitate neutron experiments and expand sample environment capability. This report will present the current sample environment and laboratory facilities and recent developments.
We have made progress in light irradiation and spectroscopy...

96. Rheo-ND: Temperature and shear induced crystal transformation of a model triglyceride observed using neutron diffraction.

Norman Booth (ANSTO)

Neutron Instruments & Techniques

Oral

Rheo-SANS (rheology and small angle neutron diffraction) is now a well-established technique to probe the shape and size of particles under different shear and temperature regimes [1]. Recent work on WOMBAT [2], the high intensity neutron diffraction instrument at the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering, has successfully combined rheology and neutron diffraction. This was used to follow...

95. New Contrast Options - Diversity and Specifity of Deuteration

Dr Anwen Krause-Heuer (ANSTO)

21/11/2018, 14:45

Neutron Instruments & Techniques

Oral

The Australian National Deuteration Facility (NDF) continues to develop new capabilities in molecular deuteration. The tailoring of deuteration approach to solve specific contrast problems has greatly increased the range of systems that can be investigated and recent capability development and new applications will be described.
The common problem of how to obtain good contrast during SANS of...

15. ECHIDNA: a decade of high resolution neutron powder diffraction at OPAL

James Hester (ANSTO)

21/11/2018, 15:05

Neutron Instruments & Techniques

Oral

The ECHIDNA high-resolution neutron powder diffractometer at the 20MW OPAL research reactor produces high-quality data for a broad spectrum of crystal and magnetic structural studies. The poster presents an overview of the current status of the hardware, latest developments in data reduction software, statistics of the instrument usage and user programme, and instrument limitations.
