Neutron reflectometry is a powerful analytical technique used to study the structure and composition of thin films, multilayers, and interfaces at the nanoscale. It involves directing a beam of ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers from ANSTO and University of Technology Sydney have set a record by conducting thin film experiments at 1100 °C, using the Spatz reflectometer equipped with a ...

The unique properties of neutrons make them unmatched probes for materials science. Although they are particles, they have a wave-like nature, with wavelengths in the same range as X-ray wavelengths, ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory were the first to use neutron reflectometry to peer inside a working solid-state battery and monitor its electrochemistry. They ...
