NEUTRON TIME-OF-FLIGHT DIFFRACTOMETRY

Neutron time-of-flight diffractometry provides an effective and rapidl y developing method for current neutron diffraction studies. It holds great promise owing to the construction of new high-flux neutron sourc es producing either pulsed or continuous beams. The authors discuss sp ecific potential of the method for structural studies. New lines of re search, such as correlation neutron diffractometry, kinetic processes, high pressures, and external electric and magnetic fields, are given special attention.
