Description
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a very effective tool to study the structure of bulk nanoscale materials such as polymer, self-assembled materials, nano-porous materials, nano-magnetic materials, metal or ceramics. Understanding the importance of the SANS instrument in Korea, the 9m SANS instrument was initially installed at the CN beam port of the 30 MW HANARO research reactor in 2001. Since the 9m SANS instrument did not have a cold neutron source in the reactor core and its length is rather short, the beam intensity is fairly low and the Q-range is rather limited. In July 1, 2003, therefore, the HANARO cold neutron research facility project was launched and a state of the art 40m SANS instrument was selected as top-priority instrument. In April 2010, the development of the 40m SANS instrument was successfully finished, and it has been opened to outside users after conducting the beam test and optimization during 7 months. In this presentation, the characteristics (specification, performance and options) of the 40m SANS instrument and materials research results performed using 40m SANS instrument will be presented.
