Neutrons beamlines and research methods at neutron IR-8 research reactor

DISC

Studying method for the atomic and magnetic structures of powder materials under extreme conditions was realized at the powder diffractometry beamline which was created at the NRC “Kurchatov Institute”. Neutron diffraction method is based on elastic neutron scattering.

Possible measurement parameters:

• Temperature range from 7K to 1000K;

• Pressure - from atmospheric to 20 kbar;

• Magnetic field up to 1.4 T.

A neutron diffraction analysis is possible.

Samples - powder materials with a volume of 0.7 cm3 or more.
