The Center For High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS),
supported by the National Science Foundation and NIST, is an important component of the NCNR, providing users with
access to five neutron scattering instruments.

| Neutron Techniques |
Crystallography The diffraction of neutrons from a crystalline sample
furnishes
information about the structural arrangement of the atoms
that compose
it. |
| Reflectometry probes the nanoscale structure of surfaces and
interfaces |
| Small Angle Neutron Scattering is a powerful method for characterizing the
nanoscale structure of solids, liquids, plastics, and
macromolecules. |
| Spectroscopy The energy scale of neutrons ( meV ) makes them ideal probes of
the dynamics of materials. |
| Chemical Analysis Several nuclear methods are used at the NCNR, including prompt-gamma neutron
activation analysis, instrumental neutron activation analysis, and cold-neutron depth
profiling |
| Other Methods Neutron interferometry,
neutron radiography, and
fundamental physics using neutrons are
active research areas at the NCNR |
| Why Neutrons? The properties of neutrons enable powerful measuement methods applicable across many fields of science and engineering. |

NEW
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
You are invited to apply for NCNR instrument time. The deadline is Tuesday, March 14, 2017, for experiments to be performed June through October 2017. Due to facility maintenance, only about 3/4 of the usual time given through proposals will be allocated in this proposal round.
details
We have posted some proposal statistics summarizing the
last five calls.
