Abstract

Neutrons have played an important role in materials research for the last 30 years. Recently a new method of producing neutrons, with proton accelerators and specifically designed targets and moderators, has been developed. Many of the techniques developed with these powerful spallation sources open new opportunities for materials research, some of which will be covered in this article. An effort will be made to explain the types of science that can be done, rather than details of the techniques. Spallation sources are being operated as user facilities so the inexperienced can count on expert assistance.
