Neutron diffraction
Neutron diffraction
Neutron diffraction is a well-developed technique to quantitatively describe materials’ microstructures. The technique features several characters of neutron beams including high penetration, no electric charge and a distinct sensitivity to atomic numbers. This has facilitated its broad application in materials science and engineering, allowing the measurement of residual stress and dislocation density in bulk specimens. In this article, an introduction to neutron diffraction principles and applications is provided.
