Results are presented that were obtained from experiments devoted to storing very cold neutrons in vessels whose walls are made from structures involving a spatial inhomogeneity of the average Fermi potential. The possibility of storing neutrons owing to diffusion reflection from the walls is shown, and prospects of elaborating the method are discussed.
