Diffraction: Principles and application
Institut Laue-Langevin, 71 avenue des Martyrs, 38000 Grenoble, France
Published online: 16 October 2015
We introduce here diffraction in general, as well as neutron and powder diffraction in particular as a tool to study the structure of condensed matter, crystalline solids in particular. Diffraction is a crucial experimental technique of extraordinary potential to elucidate the structure and its evolution of materials important for all domains in the production, conversion, storage and transport of energy. It allows therefore establishing structure-property relationships, which need to be understood in order to develop new and better performing materials.
Résumé
Nous introduisons la diffraction en général et celle des neutrons et des échantillons poly-cristallins en particulier en tant qu'outil afin d'étudier la structure de la matière condensée, en particulier des solides cristallisés. Ceci constitue une technique expérimentale de base – et d'un potentiel exceptionnel – pour élucider la structure et son évolution des matériaux importants pour tous les secteurs de la production, de la conversion, du stockage et du transport d'énergie, et permet ainsi d'établir une relation des propriétés et de sa structure dans le but de développer des matériaux encore plus performants.
