Title: Design and operating characteristic of a vacuum furnace for time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering measurements

Abstract

Here, we present the design and operating characteristics of a vacuum furnace used for inelastic neutron scattering experiments on a time-of-flight chopper spectrometer. The device is an actively water cooled radiant heating furnace capable of performing experiments up to 1873 K. Inelastic neutron scattering studies performed with this furnace include studies of phonon dynamics and metallic liquids. We describe the design, control, characterization, and limitations of the equipment. Further, we provide comparisons of the neutron performance of our device with commercially available options. Finally we consider upgrade paths to improve performance and reliability.

The multiple disk chopper neutron time-of-flight spectrometer at NIST

Conference Altorfer, F B ; Cook, J C ; National Inst. of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD ; ...

A highly versatile multiple disk chopper neutron time-of-flight spectrometer is being installed at the Cold Neutron Research Facility of the National institute of Standards and Technology. This new instrument will fill an important gap in the portfolio of neutron inelastic scattering spectrometers in North America. It will be used for a wide variety of experiments such as studies of magnetic and vibrational excitations, tunneling spectroscopy, and quasielastic neutron scattering investigations of local and translational diffusion. The instrument uses disk choppers to monochromate and pulse the incident beam, and the energy changes of scattered neutrons are determined from their times-of-flight tomore »« less
Thermal expansion and phonon anharmonicity of cuprite studied by inelastic neutron scattering and ab initio calculations

Journal Article Saunders, Claire N. ; Kim, D. S. ; Hellman, O. ; ... - Physical Review. B

Inelastic neutron scattering measurements were performed with a time-of-flight chopper spectrometer to observe phonons in all parts of the Brillouin zone of a single crystal of cuprite Cu₂O. We reduced the experimental data to phonon dispersions in the high-symmetry directions, and changes between 10 and 300 K are reported. In this paper, we show ab initio quasiharmonic (QH) and anharmonic (AH) calculations of phonon dispersions. We performed all AH calculations with a temperature-dependent effective potential method. Both QH and AH calculations account for the small negative thermal expansion of cuprite at low temperatures. However, the measured temperature-dependent phonon behavior wasmore »« less

Dynamics of Organophosphate‐Induced Structural Changes in Acetylcholinesterase Revealed by Time‐Resolved Small‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering and Inelastic Neutron Scattering

Journal Article Blumenthal, Donald K. ; Kovalevsky, Andrey ; Gerlits, Oksana ; ... - FASEB Journal

Organophosphates (OPs), the active compounds in nerve agents and insecticides such as paraoxon (POX), exert their toxic effects by irreversibly inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Currently available antidotes for OP toxicity can reactivate AChE, but reactivation rates are slow which can lead to irreversible nervous system damage or death. We hypothesize that better antidotes with accelerated reactivation rates can be developed by understanding the structural dynamics of OP‐AChE conjugates. Previous steady‐state small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) experiments showed that POX and certain other OPs induce quaternary structural changes in human AChE (hAChE) that were reversible by oxime antidotes.

Thermal scattering law for ice based on neutron time-of-flight experiments carried out at the SEQUOIA spectrometer at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Conference Jaiswal, V ; Leal, Luiz ; Kolesnikov, Alexander I.

Precise estimation of neutron thermalization in moderators relies on high-fidelity thermal scattering cross-section data governed by the thermal scattering law (TSL). The Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN) has been working on the development of improved TSL for light water ice. Many polymorphic phases of light water ice exist depending on the thermodynamic conditions. The most common type of ice at standard pressure and temperature below water freezing point (273.15 K) is ice-Ih. It is essential to have high-resolution experimental double differential data for developing and/or validating TSL for moderator materials.Existing experimental double-differential scattering data for ice-Ih aremore »« less

Time of Flight neutron Spectrometer for inelastic neutron scattering studies is being commissioned at Dhruva reactor. Neutron pulse tagging is carried out using the Fermi chopper. Scattered neutrons at maximum possible scattered solid angle are needed to be detected along with the time information at detector. Precise and efficient detection system is essential for measurement of spatial and temporal distribution. Detection area is optimized to cover an angle of 70° in horizontal direction and 23° in vertical direction. Position sensitive detectors (PSDs) are designed with judicial use of precious {sup 3}He gas and a few PSDs with BF{sub 3} gasmore »« less
