New applications of Larmor precession in neutron diffraction will be discus
sed. The methods are based on the entanglement of the precession angle with
the energy of the neutron and with the transmission direction of the neutr
ons through the: precession devices. Although some applications will be dis
cussed, the emphasis in this paper will be concentrated on the application
of high-resolution neutron diffraction. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All
