Neutron Physics Laboratory (NPI)

• Neutron radiography/tomography: 3D imaging of specimen interior.
• MEREDIT Medium resolution powder diffractometer: non-destructive crystallographic structure and texture determination, phase analysis.
• MAUD Double crystal small-angle neutron scattering: microstructural studies, porosity investigation.
• SPN-100 and TKSN-400 neutron diffractometers: residual stresses, micro-stresses, and texture determination.
• T-NDP Thermal Neutron Depth Profiling: non-destructive analysis of concentration profiles of light elements.
• MBE-RHEED Molecular beam epitaxy: preparation of protective layers.
• LEIF Low energy ion facility: conservation and protection of top layers.
• NAA, PGAA, and PAA; Neutron, Prompt Gamma and Photon Activation Analyses: low-level elemental and isotopic characterization.
• XRF X-Ray Fluorescence: very fast, non-destructive analysis of metallic, ceramic, glass objects, determine low-Z elements, analysis of liquid samples.
