FIGARO

FIGARO (Fluid Interfaces Grazing Angles ReflectOmeter) is a brand new high flux, flexible resolution, time-of-flight neutron reflectometer that is optimized for the study of horizontal surfaces such as free liquids, and was launched as a user instrument at the ILL in April 2009.

The year 2011 was a great one to kick start the publication of FIGARO papers! We aim here to list as many FIGARO papers as possible in reverse chronological order of when they were published. Please contact the instrument responsibles if your FIGARO paper is missing from this list. First we highlight a thorough technical reference paper on the FIGARO instrument:
