D7 - Diffuse Scattering Spectrometer

D7 has been dismantled. The new permanently-polarized diffuse scattering spectrometer D007 delivered its first neutrons in 2024. Further developments have been realised and first users have been welcomed in 2025.

The diffuse scattering spectrometer D7 is a general purpose neutron polarisation analysis spectrometer, designed to study nuclear and magnetic short range ordered materials and magnetic defect structures.

Applications

• Magnetic short range order in frustrated magnets and spin-glasses
• Studies of non-collinear ferromagnetism
• Extended magnetic defects in antiferromagnetic materials
• Studies of hydrogen motion
• Separation of collective and single particle excitations
