Neutron scattering
Neutron scattering
, the scattering of free
neutrons
by matter, can refer to either the physical process or the experimental technique which uses this process for the investigation of materials. Neutron scattering as a physical process is of primordial importance in
nuclear engineering
. Neutron scattering as an experimental technique is used in
crystallography
,
physics
,
physical chemistry
,
biophysics
, and
materials research
. It is practiced at
research reactors
and
spallation
neutron sources that provide
neutron radiation
of sufficient
intensity
.
Neutron diffraction
(
elastic scattering
) is used for determining structures;
Inelastic neutron scattering
is used for the study of atomic
vibration
s and other
excitations
.
