eV Neutron Spectroscopy a Decade Ago

Phys Rev Lett 89 135505 (2002)

  • Detailed information on proton tunnelling dynamics

from single crystals.

  • Access to effective PES in favourable circumstances.

Disordered Matter and First-principles Modelling

  • Nuclear quantum dynamics of D and O in intrinsically disordered media.
  • Key: use of state-of-art first-principles methods (PIMD, etc).

J Phys Chem Lett 4 3251 (2013)

Increasingly Complex Materials

  • Calculations to interpret Compton profiles – harmonic

approximation is a good starting point.

  • Access to structure of adsorbate complex, coverage

dependence of adsorbate-adsorbate interactions.

Towards MAss-selective Neutron SpEctroscopy

  • MANSE: element specific, sensitive to light nuclides, no isotopic substitution, not restricted to

low Ts, …

  • Establish realm of applicability: mass discrimination, range and sensitivity, information

content of experimental data, link to materials properties.

  • Explore experimental and modelling requirements.
