IN15, a spin echo spectrometer
The complex assembly of magnetic coils in this instrument makes it possible to manipulate the spins of the neutrons in such a way that they can be used as a precise internal stopwatch. It is therefore possible to time the diffusion and slow movements of atoms, molecules and polymers.
FIGARO, a neutron reflectometer
Neutron reflectometry investigates the nanoscale structure of surfaces and thin films at the interface between materials. These interfaces can be air-water, buried solid-liquid or liquid-liquid interfaces, and some of the key application areas are soft condensed matter and biomacromolecules.
