The instrument IN11 is primarily used to study slow relaxation and diffusion phenomena in polymers, glasses and magnetic materials.

IN11 is primarily used for the study of slow relaxation phenomena:

• Reptation in polymer melts
• Alpha relaxation in glass-forming polymers
• Dynamics in micellar solutions
• Diffusion of molecules in confined media or in the bulk
• Magnetic excitations
• Spin ice and spin glass dynamics

This drawing shows the available instrument setups:

• IN11A is used for maximum resolution (up to 80 ns spin-echo time).
• IN11C is used for high signal at moderate resolution (up to 15 ns). The detector solid angle is 20 times higher than for IN11A.
• IN11 triple axis option provides a HOPG monochromator crystal in front of the detector.
