Popis: | The development of elemental analysis at the ISIS pulsed neutron and muon facility, STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK, is described. Presented are recent results from the calibration of the new setup and this shows the technique can be a powerful tool in determining the composition of materials in bulk, not just at the surface. Moreover, this technique is non-destructive and should be sensitive to all elements (perhaps with the exception of H and He). |
