When an ordinary beam of neutrons strikes the team’s silicon grating, the millions of scored lines on the grating convert the ...

Key PointsNon-invasive nuclear techniques have helped to reveal the composition and manufacturing history of historic African ...

In a new study, researchers have finally answered this question, providing the first definitive neutron diffraction evidence of antiferromagnetism in a real icosahedral quasicrystal. This ...

improving commonly used imaging techniques such as neutron scattering and neutron diffraction. One of the most tantalizing possibilities, Huber said, would be to find ways to combine a neutron ...

Researchers provide the first neutron diffraction proof of antiferromagnetism in an icosahedral quasicrystal, opening new paths in magnetic and spintronic research. (Nanowerk News) Quasicrystals (QCs) ...

To further validate their results, the team performed neutron diffraction measurements of the iQC at temperatures of 10 K and 3 K. They observed additional magnetic Bragg peaks—sharp intensity ...
