Sample environments for neutron scattering of energy and biomaterials
Sample environments for neutron scattering of energy and biomaterials
The project aims to extend the length scale range that can be studied with DREAM.

- Funder: Swedish Research Council Neutron Initiative
Projektbeskrivning
The project deals with upgrading the instrument DREAM at ESS (European Spallation Source, in Lund to studies of nanomaterials and thereby increasing dramatically their use and user base. The project aims at increasing the length scales that can be probed with DREAM. We will design advanced sample environments so that the upgrading can be fully exploited. The diffractometer DREAM includes from the original design the possibility of data acquisition in two length scales (Å and nm). Some examples of possible studies that will be carried out are how the structure of batteries changes during usage or how do small cellulose fibres self-assemble.
Financing
The project is financed by the Swedish Research Council Neutron Initiative. 2017-2020.
