Neutron time-of-flight diffractometry

Abstract

Neutron time-of-flight diffractometry provides an effective and rapidly developing method for current neutron diffraction studies. It holds great promise owing to the construction of new high-flux neutron sources producing either pulsed or continuous beams. The authors discuss specific potential of the method for structural studies. New lines of research, such as correlation neutron diffractometry, kinetic processes, high pressures, and external electric and magnetic fields, are given special attention.
