Abstract
The work presents the results of numerical experiments on small-angle neutron scattering for solid nanoparticles with sizes of 8 and 80 nm using pulsed neutron sources. Numerical models are developed for the instrument designed for the DARIA compact neutron source and the YuMO spectrometer with the pulsed neutron source IBR-2M currently in operation. In both cases, a time-of-flight neutron detector is used, which implements radial spatial resolution through concentric rings that integrate the scattering intensity over the azimuthal angle. The implementation of the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) method in the DARIA compact neutron source offers a resolution and pulse range comparable to the YuMO spectrometer, but it lags behind by an order of magnitude in terms of brightness.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Surface Investigation: X-ray, Synchrotron and Neutron Techniques publishes original articles on the topical problems of solid-state physics, materials science, experimental techniques, condensed media, nanostructures, surfaces of thin films, and phase boundaries: geometric and energetical structures of surfaces, the methods of computer simulations; physical and chemical properties and their changes upon radiation and other treatments; the methods of studies of films and surface layers of crystals (XRD, XPS, synchrotron radiation, neutron and electron diffraction, electron microscopic, scanning tunneling microscopic, atomic force microscopic studies, and other methods that provide data on the surfaces and thin films). Articles related to the methods and technics of structure studies are the focus of the journal. The journal accepts manuscripts of regular articles and reviews in English or Russian language from authors of all countries. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
