Scattering of thermal neutrons

Neutrons and their properties, stationar, and pulse neutron sources - large facilities (ILL, ISIS), polarized neutrons. Interactions of neutrons with magnetic matter, basic principles of experimental methods, instrumentation, data analysis and interpretation (diffarction methods, critical and difuse scattering, small-angle scattering, inelastic and quasielastic scattering), neutron optics and topography.

Synchrotron radiation

Basics of the synchrotron radiation and its interactions with the magnetic matter, comparison to the neutron scattering, large facilities (ESRF). The principles of experimental methods, interpretation of experimental data (resonance magnetic scattering, dichroism), detection, optics.
