Neutron Scattering
Neutron scattering is utilized to understand the properties of materials on the atomic scale. The benefits of the neutron scattering are to have similar wavelengths to the spacing between atoms, similar energy to atoms, no charge to avoid strong scattering by charges to penetrate more deeply into the matter, scattered similar extent by light and heavy atoms, and suitable magnetic moment for magnetism measurement. Neutron scattering produces prominent interference and energy transfer effects because neutrons interact primarily with the nucleus, not electron cloud surrounding it in XRD. Nowadays, neutron studies of quantum materials are commonly used for the development of IT technology and superconducting materials. At cryogenic temperatures, the energy distribution of the neutrons can be shifted to the lower energy end of the spectrum. Interesting neutron scattering phenomena are also commonly discovered at low-temperature.
