TOF diffraction experiments with NEAT at BENSC

Abstract

We report on a series of experiments performed on the very flexible TOF spectrometer NEAT at the Berlin Neutron Scattering Center, which demonstrates one of the unusual possibilities offered by this instrument: TOF diffraction with incident neutron wavelengths up to at least 20 Å. This is especially suitable for studies of complex systems with large unit cells, as the structural characterization and inelastic scattering measurements can be carried out consecutively, without changing geometry and sample environment.
