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

MOND

Beamline was created at the NRC "Kurchatov Institute" to study single crystals structure. Single-crystal neutron diffractometry method, based on a five-circle full-ring diffractometer, was implemented at the beamline, allowing to obtain single crystal structure basic characteristics.

Single-crystal neutron diffractometry method is used, which allows to determine the following characteristics of the structure of a single crystal: spatial symmetry, unit cell parameters, atom coordinates, thermal parameters of atoms, filling factors, microstructural characteristics, with typical size of samples 5 ч 25 mm3
