Quasi-specular albedo of cold neutrons from powder of nanoparticles (2009)
Cubitt, R., Lychagin, E. V., Muzychka, A. Yu., Nekhaev, G. V., Nesvizhevsky, V. V., Pignol, G., ...
We predicted and observed for the first time the quasi-specular albedo of cold neutrons at small incidence angles from a powder of nanoparticles. This albedo (reflection) is due to multiple neutron...
Storage of very cold neutrons in a trap with nano-structured walls (2008)
Lychagin, E. V., Muzychka, A. Yu., Nesvizhevsky, V. V., Pignol, G., Protasov, K. V., Strelkov, A. V.
We report on storage of Very Cold Neutrons (VCN) in a trap with walls containing powder of diamond nanoparticles. The efficient VCN reflection is provided by multiple diffusive elastic scattering of...
The reflection of very cold neutrons from diamond powder nanoparticles (2008)
Nesvizhevsky, V. V., Lychagin, E. V., Muzychka, A. Yu., Strelkov, A. V., Pignol, G., Protasov, K. V.
We study possibility of efficient reflection of very cold neutrons (VCN) from powders of nanoparticles. In particular, we measured the scattering of VCN at a powder of diamond nanoparticles as a...
