X-rays from synchrotron: new challenge for neutron scattering
A brief review is given of current developments in x-ray scattering techniques at synchrotron radiation facilities. Highly collimated, intense white radiations open up new areas of research in condensed matter physics and challenge the traditional domains of neutron scattering. These include energy dispersive scattering, the use of anomalous dispersion, magnetic diffraction and direct energy analysis by backscattering. The relative merits of x-ray and neutron scattering techniques will be discussed. The unique advantage of neutron scattering is the capability of performing polarization analysis. We will discuss in some detail the current developments at Brookhaven in inelastic scattering of polarized neutrons. In addition, we will also discuss special technical problems associated with the search for phasons utilizing a high resolution triple axis spectrometer.
