Neutron scattering involves directing a beam of neutrons at a sample and measuring the angles and energies at which the neutrons are scattered. There are two primary types of neutron scattering techniques: elastic and inelastic. In elastic scattering, the neutrons do not lose energy, providing information about the static structure of the material. In inelastic scattering, the neutrons lose energy, offering insights into the dynamic processes within the material.
