Reflection inside a neutron guide, abstract image. Neutrons are fundamental particles found in atomic nuclei. Typically emitted by a suitable radioactive source or nuclear reactor, neutrons have applications in various areas of physics, particularly the field known as neutron optics. Neutron guides are constructed from precisely engineered layers of metals that reflect the neutrons, which are acting as waves. Examples of neutron optics include neutron spectrometry, neutron diffraction, neutron scattering, and neutron tomography. This neutron guide is coated with the isotope nickel-58. | |
