Review of the new crystal-diffraction methods to study fundamental neutron properties and interactions is presented. Features of neutron optics in the crystal without a center of symmetry is discussed as well as the first experimental results and perspectives to improve the sensitivity of experiments on a search for the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) and CP-violating short-range pseudomagnetic nucleon-nucleon interaction. Also, the possibility to develop ultra-precise neutron spectroscopy using Laue diffraction in the perfect crystal is discussed, which can be used for a broad range of experiments: search for the neutron electric charge; test of the equivalence principle; precise measurements of neutron scattering amplitudes; crystal quality testing.
