Condensed Matter Research Using Neutron Inelastic Scattering

Abstract

Neutron inelastic scattering is a powerful technique to investigate atomic and spin dynamics in condensed matter. Recently developed MW-class accelerator-based spallation neutron source enables efficient data collection in wide momentum (𝘘) and energy (ℏω) space, and is boosting utilization of the inelastic neutron scattering for various condensed-matter systems. In this article, we will overview the neutron inelastic scattering technique from the basic theoretical background to same examples in magnetism research.
