    As developments in renewable energy continue, the advancement of energy storage devices is pressed towards further innovation to meet efforts towards net-zero emissions.​ With energy storage systems, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most widespread in applications from consumer electronics to grid storage due to their high energy density and long lifetime. Electrolyte engineering (which...

    Recent advances in neutron instrumentation have been motivated by a need for highest energy resolution over a wide range of momentum transfers to investigate new and exotic ground states without long-range order or well defined excitations, such as for example quantum spin liquids. One line of development has been towards multi-analyzer spectrometers, such as the CAMEA spectrometer, which has...

    The ICONE project of a French HiCANS is aimed at delivering an instrument suite for the French scientific community at the 2035 horizon. ICONE will produce moderated neutrons in the energy range of < 200 meV, making them suitable for use on neutron scattering instruments. A major challenge is the design and optimisation of instruments to make full use of the ToF flux. To address this, digital...

    Neutron spin echo (NSE) spectroscopy is an essential quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) method to probe dynamics in condensed matter. It gains access to a region of time and length scales which is complementary to other QENS techniques and high-resolution methods (e.g. PFG-NMR, photon correlation spectroscopy), and allows to cover unique science cases in various fields, including protein...

    We discuss different concepts to realize crystal analyzer spectrometers at long pulse neutron sources.
    For the novel High Current Accelerator driven neutron sources, crystal arrays designed for large ac-
    ceptance enable resolutions down to 10 μeV with reasonable detector count rates.
    For the ESS we present a concept that might enable neV resolution by using GaAs monochroma-
    tors and...

    Inelastic neutron scattering measurements are usually (except on Spin Echo), performed by knowing the initial and final energy of each neutron detected. This information is used to obtain the double differential scattering cross section, d$^2$$\sigma$/d$\Omega$d$\omega$, the probability of a scattered neutron being directed in the solid angle between $\Omega$ and $\Omega$+d$\Omega$ having...

    We present the instrument concept for KVASIR, a backscattering indirect time-of-flight neutron spectrometer for the European Spallation Source (ESS). KVASIR will probe low lying excitations in single crystals of hard condensed matter. The instrument follows the FARO/SHERPA concept, using mosaic prismatic PG analyzer crystals. KVASIR is simultaneously optimized for high resolution of energy-...

    RESEDA is a neutron resonance spin-echo (NRSE) spectrometer at FRM II that provides a flexible range of possible energy and momentum transfers by offering two modes of operation: the NRSE option, which has the advantage of providing larger spin-echo times and the possibility to measure at large scattering angles, and the MIEZE option, which is robust against depolarizing conditions at the...

    We have been working to develop the instrumentation concept for PA HEROS. The application of PA to high resolution neutron backscattering requires many considerations for the instrumental realization. We have been studying these aspects from incident beam polarization to polarization transport in the primary and secondary spectrometer and PST chopper to novel implementation of a wide angle...

    The Modulated IntEnsity with Zero Effort (MIEZE) resonant spin-echo technique, implemented at the RESEDA instrument at the FRM II, allows measurements of depolarizing samples with high energy resolution and has its optimum resolution at small scattering angles, i.e. SANS geometries. With the recent adaptations towards thermal neutrons, and possibility to move the detector to large scattering...

    T-REX is a bispectral direct geometry spectrometer currently under construction at the ESS. T-REX looks at both the thermal and cold moderators at ESS, enabling users to study excitations with incident neutron energies ranging from 2 to 160 meV. A key feature of T-REX is its advanced XYZ polarisation analysis capability, which greatly enhances the scope of possible experiments on a direct...

    Neutron polarization analysis provides profound additions of knowledge to the field of soft condensed matter research. The ability to separate the coherent and incoherent scattering contributions gives information on spatial correlations and collective motion, and information from single particles, respectively.
    In this study, we focus on upgrading the SPHERES (SPectrometer for High Energy...

    In recent years, polarised neutron spectroscopy on multi-detector spectrometers has become possible with the advent of wide-angle neutron spin analysers, either using polarizing supermirror arrays (e.g. D007 (ILL), HYSPEC (SNS)) or 3He spin-filters (LET (ISIS), PASTIS (ILL)). Wide-angle neutron polarization analysis is particularly useful for studying materials with short-range or...

    Neutron resonance spin echo (NRSE) was invented nearly thirty years ago and initially developed to study the lifetime of crystal lattice excitations. It was subsequently used to determine the distribution and mosaicism of a crystal. This technique also allows the measurement of small crystallographic distortions and micro-gaps (a few tenths of a $\mu$eV) between different excitations. These...
