Neutron scattering at high pressure.
01 January 1984
The techniques to do elastic and inelastic neutron scattering at steady-state and pulsed sources are reviewed. The pressure cells available at most neutron scattering centers are capable of reaching pressures of the order of 5 GPa (50 kbar), and attempts to reach 10 GPa have been made. For elastic scattering, a comparison is made between neutron scattering and X-ray scattering at high pressure using rotating anode or synchrotron sources.
