Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Neutrons, such as light, including X-rays, exhibit both particle and wave properties as energy carriers. Because of their quantum nature, they can undergo interference effects during scattering in matter, enabling techniques such as diffraction and energy-resolved spectroscopy. As a result, neutrons serve as powerful probes for revealing the structural arrangements and dynamic behaviors of electrons, atoms, and molecules within materials. This lecture covers the generation of neutron beams aimed at investigating material structures and dynamics, the fundamentals and methodologies of neutron spectroscopy, and examples of its applications. |
