Research instruments

A short overview of the possibilities of research with use of the reactor or other related instruments. For more information please call Ing. J. Plomp +31 (0)6 34 57 56 24 or send an email.

PEARL

PEARL is a neutron powder diffractometer for measuring diffraction patterns in order to identify where the atoms are in their crystal structures.

SANS

The classical version of small-angle neutron scattering - instrument under construction.

SESANS

Spin-echo small-angle neutron scattering: is a new technique for using small-angle neutron scattering to study the structure of systems on lenght scales of 10 nm up to 15 um in real space.

Neutron Reflectometer

The neutron reflectometer (ROG) measures the way neutrons are reflected by flat surfaces and interfaces with the aim to provide information about the thickness, composition and roughness of these layered structures.

INAA

A multi-element analysis capacity for 67 elements of 4500 samples per year, ISO 17025 compliant and non-destructive.

Neutron Depth Profiling

measures the depth profile of selected trace element concentrations. Ion implanters, sputtering equipment and gas desorption set-ups are also available

Positron Facilities

The world’s most intense positron beam (4x10⁸ s⁻¹ at the sample) is guided to a 2D-ACAR arrangement that allows for electron momentum distribution studies. In parallel, a 22Na source is in use for Doppler broadening measurements to study defects and vacancies.

Mössbauer laboratoria

The Mössbauer effect allows one to investigate the electronic environment, that is the chemical state, of various elements. Widely applied for developnment of catalysts.
