We present experimental data on ultracold neutron (UCN) production in solid oxygen from 5 K to 50 K. The experiment used 3 cells of different dimensions in order to study the excess UCN elastic scattering in s-O$_2$ due to source density…
This paper presents a calculation of the neutron cross-sections in solid materials (used in practical neutron sources) with a large coherent scattering contribution. In particular, the dynamic structure function S(Q, $\omega$) of…
Neutron scattering is a powerful probe of strongly correlated systems. It can directly detect common phenomena such as magnetic order, and can be used to determine the coupling between magnetic moments through measurements of the spin-wave…
Spin waves, or magnons, in the anti-ferromagnetic $\alpha$ phase of solid oxygen provide a novel mechanism for ultra-cold neutron (UCN) production. Magnons dominate the energy exchange mechanisms for cold neutrons and UCN in solid…
Our recent neutron scattering measurements of phonons and magnons in solid \alpha-oxygen have led us to a new understanding of the production mechanismen of ultra-cold-neutrons (UCN) in this super-thermal converter. The UCN production in…
Elastic neutron scattering experiments performed in semi-conducting La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO3 single crystals (x=0.05, 0.08), reveal new features in the problem of electronic phase separation and metal insulator transition. Below TN, the observation…
High-temperature superconductivity in both the copper-oxide and the iron-pnictide/chalcogenide systems occurs in close proximity to antiferromagnetically ordered states. Neutron scattering has been an essential technique for characterizing…
Neutron scattering is a powerful tool to study magnetic structures and dynamics, benefiting from a precisely established theoretical framework. The neutron dipole moment interacts with electrons in materials via their magnetic field, which…
Our recent neutron scattering measurements of phonons and other quasi-particle excitations in solid deuterium (sD$_2$) and the extraction of the density of states for phonons and rotational transitions in sD2 have led us to a new…
The spin of the neutron allows neutron scattering to reveal the magnetic structure and dynamics of materials over nanometre length scales and picosecond timescales. Neutron scattering is particularly in demand in order to understand…
Quite a few low-dimensional magnets are quantum-disordered ``spin liquids'' with a characteristic gap in the magnetic excitation spectrum. Among these are antiferromagnetic chains of integer quantum spins. Their generic feature are…
Neutron scattering is used to investigate the single-ion spin and orbital excitations below the Mott-Hubbard gap in CoO. Three excitations are reported at 0.870 $\pm$ 0.009 eV, 1.84 $\pm$ 0.03, and 2.30 $\pm$ 0.15 eV. These were…
Neutron scattering can provide detailed information about the energy and momentum dependence of the magnetic dynamics of materials provided sufficiently large single crystals are available. This requirement has limited the number of rare…
We calculate the differential scattering rate for thermal neutrinos in a hot and dilute gas of interacting neutrons using linear response theory. The dynamical structure factors for density and spin fluctuations of the strongly interacting…
In this Letter, I work out spin entanglement properties of neutron-proton scattering using the exact S-matrix, generalizing previous works based on S wave. The dependence of spin entanglement on momentum, scattering angle, and initial spin…
The present chapter reviews current neutron and x-ray scattering techniques employed to elucidate the magnetic structures and spin dynamics of magnetic materials. Both techniques provide measurements as a function of the energy and the…
The differential cross section for the inelastic magnetic scattering of neutrons by superconducting rings is derived theoretically taking account of the interaction of the neutron magnetic moment with magnetic field created by the…
Neutron scattering measurements have been made on the spin fluctuations in YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta} for different oxygen doping levels. Incommensurability is clearly observed for oxygen concentrations of 6.6 and 6.7 and is suggested for the…
We show that the intermediate scattering function $S_n(q,t)$ for neutron scattering (ns) can be expanded naturely with respect to a set of molecular correlation functions that give a complete description of the translational and…
We have investigated solid oxygen as a converter material for the production of ultra-cold neutrons. In a first series of experiments the crystal preparation was examined. An optically semi-transparent solid $\alpha$-oxygen crystal has been…
