Neutron Scattering at the High Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
Since its beginnings in Oak Ridge and Argonne in the late 1940's, neutron scattering has been established as the premier tool to study matter in its various states. Since the thermal neutron wavelength is of the same order of magnitude as typical atomic spacings and because they have comparable energies to those of atomic excitations in solids, both structure and dynamics of matter can be studied via neutron scattering. The High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) provides an intense source of neutrons with which to carry out these measurements. This paper summarizes the available neutron scattering facilities at the HFIR.
