NIST’s Neutron Interferometry and Optics Facilities are world-leading centers for studying neutron wave properties and their applications in materials science and fundamental physics. The facilities use advanced neutron interferometers to measure neutron wave phases, providing insights into material properties and quantum phenomena.
Two main facilities are available:
1. The Hutch facility, featuring a large enclosure with exceptional phase stability and vibration isolation, providing high-precision measurements.
2. A fixed-wavelength facility with greater accessibility and customizable setups, including cryostat capabilities for studying quantum materials.
Researchers from institutions worldwide, including universities and research organizations in the US, Canada, Japan, and Europe, use these facilities to conduct groundbreaking research in quantum mechanics, fundamental physics, and quantum materials.
