Abstract
An inexpensive single-board computer (Raspberry Pi 5) was employed to create event mode files from sample environment equipment, complementing event files from neutron scattering instrumentation. Together the sample and neutron event files enable fast kinetic processes to be studied via stroboscopic measurements. The device is adaptable to a broad array of experimental scenarios and demonstrates that cutting-edge neutron science can be achieved by employing inexpensive equipment with appropriate expertise.
期刊介绍:
Many research topics in condensed matter research, materials science and the life sciences make use of crystallographic methods to study crystalline and non-crystalline matter with neutrons, X-rays and electrons. Articles published in the Journal of Applied Crystallography focus on these methods and their use in identifying structural and diffusion-controlled phase transformations, structure-property relationships, structural changes of defects, interfaces and surfaces, etc. Developments of instrumentation and crystallographic apparatus, theory and interpretation, numerical analysis and other related subjects are also covered. The journal is the primary place where crystallographic computer program information is published.
