Abstract
The neutron wavelength resolution, Bragg-edge measurement ability and future prospects regarding the neutron count rate were investigated at AISTANS. The wavelength resolution evaluated by Bragg-edge analysis using an iron powder sample is in reasonably good agreement with calculations at neutron wavelengths of 0.2–0.3 nm. Bragg-edge imaging was also performed on a steel plate sample with distinct regions of BCC and FCC crystallinity, and the different crystal structures were successfully discriminated. In addition, an aluminum sample containing a friction stir spot welding region was also measured and the 200 and 111 Bragg-edges at the two joining areas were observed. However, it was hard to characterize the difference in texture between the two areas. The neutron counting rate for Bragg-edge imaging is expected to increase by approximately a factor 50 in the near future thanks to the planned improvements of the electron beam power and the detection efficiency of the neutron detector.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
