Diamond nanoparticles in nanoparticle-polymer composite neutron diffraction gratings II
This proposal is in principle a continuation of 3-14-392. However, 3-14-392 could not be carried out in September 2019 (as previously scheduled) because of an unforeseen delay of refurbishment works at the instrument PF2 VCN (work accident, please consult Tobias Jenke for further information). 3-14-392 was rescheduled to November 2019. Since 3-14-392 was not available in the user club system as of Monday, September 16, we could not upload an experimental report for it and could, therefore, not submit the present proposal as a "continuation". Abstract: We use materials that are sensitive to light combined with holographic techniques to develop diffraction gratings for long-wavelength neutron optics. The treated materials exhibit a periodic neutron refractive-index pattern, arising from a light-induced redistribution of the constituents. Our goal is to find the most versatile and efficient material to produce neutron-optical elements, such as wavelength-standards and gratings for neutron phase-imaging or very-cold neutron interferometry. This proposal aims at testing improved (in comparison to 3-14-39) nanodiamond gratings.
