Neutron scattering offers several advantages over other analytical techniques:
Penetration Depth: Neutrons can penetrate deep into materials, allowing for bulk analysis. Non-Destructive: The technique is non-destructive, preserving the sample for further analysis. Isotopic Sensitivity: Neutrons are sensitive to different isotopes, enabling the study of isotopically labeled samples. Magnetic Sensitivity: Neutrons interact with magnetic moments, making them ideal for studying magnetic materials.
