Neutron scattering facilities provide unique microstructural characterization tools
![]() |
High Flux Isotope Reactor:
- (1965 - present) World-class steady-state neutron source
Spallation Neutron Source:
- World-class pulsed neutron source
Non-destructive residual stress mapping:
- Applicable to most engineering materials
- Validation of finite element models
Crystal structure characterization:
- Bulk rather than surface information
- Sensitive to light elements (O, N, C, H)
- In-situ high-temperature studies
Small-angle neutron scattering:
- Measurements at nano- and meso- scale


OAK RIDGE, Tenn., April 15, 2013 - Two researchers from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been elected to fellowship in the American Physical Society (APS). Xiaoguang Zhang and Eliot Specht were named APS fellows in recognition of their outstanding contributions to physics.
Lithium-sulfur battery research by a team of ORNL researchers was featured on the inside front cover of a recent issue of
