Abstract
Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) and inelastic neutron scattering afford insight into solid state structures and excitations at vastly different frequency and length scales. We will discuss the combined use of these techniques to understand phase transitions in functional and structural materials. Structural complexity, such as chirality or incommensuration leads to emerging features in both techniques and modifies energy transport channels. Novel developments in techniques at the Oak Ridge neutron sources, that now enable in situ ultrasound spectrocopy in the neutron beam, and the RUSCal analysis software that now supports all Bravais classes and implements Monte-Carlo methods, will be discussed in example materials.
