Note: Sample cells to investigate solid/liquid interfaces with neutrons

Rev Sci Instrum. 2015 Jan;86(1):016115. doi: 10.1063/1.4906518.

Abstract

The design of sample cells to study solid/liquid interfaces by neutron reflection is presented. Use of standardized components and a modular design has allowed a wide range of experiments that include grazing incidence scattering and conventional small-angle scattering. Features that reduce background scattering are emphasized. Various flow arrangements to fill and replenish the liquid in the cell as well as continuous stirring are described.
