Neutron scattering is a powerful analytical technique that utilizes neutrons to probe the structure, dynamics, and properties of materials at the atomic and nanoscale level. It provides unique ...

The methods by which neutron diffraction and inelastic scattering may be used to study the structure and dynamics of solutions are reviewed, with particular reference to solutions of amphiphile and ...

In a unique analysis of experimental data, nuclear physicists have made observations of how lambda particles, so-called 'strange matter,' are produced by a specific process called semi-inclusive deep ...

The inelastic scattering of neutrons by ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic crystals is considered on spin-wave theory, using the formalism of Holstein & Primakoff. The influence of dipole-dipole ...

The Neutron Scattering Society of America, or NSSA, recognized Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Ke An and Ken Herwig as fellows for their outstanding contributions to neutron scattering. The NSSA ...

An international research collaboration has reported the first experimental evidence that the strongly correlated proton-neutron pairs found in an atomic depend on nuclear structure. The experiment, ...

A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...

Carbon and silicon are used in nuclear fission and fusion reactors as shielding and structural materials. Nuclear engineers also use these elements in fuel and neutron moderators, which regulate the ...

Ann and Ed Frome, who attend the same church as Carolyn Krause, have long been interested in the career of the late Ernest O. Wollan, one of the most renowned physicists who worked at Oak Ridge ...
