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 cold 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
