Advances in Modern Neutron Diffraction

The Special Topic "Advances in Modern Neutron Diffraction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory"Â highlights the technical capabilities, achievements, and future directions of the neutron powder and single crystal diffraction instrument suites, novel sample environments, and analysis tools at ORNL. Capabilities at the High Flux Isotope Reactor and Spallation Neutron Source broadly support scientific exploration in biology, chemistry, physics, materials science, geoscience, medicine, and more. The Special Topic connects technical advancements with the scientific discoveries they enable, providing a platform for increased visibility and stimulating further developments. The topic is divided in four parts: (1) Diffraction Suite Reviews; (2) State-of-the Art Neutron Instruments at ORNL; (3) Novel Neutron Sample Environments; and (4) Advances in Neutron Diffraction Measurements.

Guest Editors: Katharine Page, Bianca Haberl, Leighton Coates, and Matthew Tucker
