Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Many neutron techniques can greatly benefit from enhanced neutron lenses for focusing and imaging. In this work, we revisit the potential of diffractive optics for neutron beams, building on advanced high-resolution nano-lithography techniques developed for the fabrication of X-ray diffractive optics used at synchrotron facilities. We demonstrate state-of-the-art fabrication of nickel and silicon Fresnel zone plates and we report proof-of-concept experiments for full-field neutron microscopy and small angle neutron scattering. The advancement of neutron diffractive optics will open new opportunities for neutron techniques, improving both the efficiency and resolution of existing instruments.
