Quantum Materials and Collective Phenomena

We develop and use scattering methods to determine structural and magnetic order and excitations in novel quantum-, nano- and functional materials in order to achieve an understanding of macroscopic properties and functionalities. Challenging scientific problems are the drivers of our work developing new instruments, right through to designing novel high brilliance neutron sources.

HBS-I Shortlisted for National Research Infrastructures

The High-Brilliance Neutron Source Phase I (HBS-I) has reached an important milestone. The neutron source project has been shortlisted for the new federal funding program for large research infrastructures. Forschungszentrum Jülich is working closely with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon on the project. Being included in the shortlist is an important signal of the scientific and societal relevance of HBS-I.

The potential of high current accelerator-driven neutron sources

Scientists at JCNS working on the High Brilliance neutron Source (HBS) project have published an extensive review on neutron sources for large scale user facilities, aimed at users of neutron sources who need to understand the characteristics and peculiarities of the different types of neutron sources in order to select the most suitable source for their needs.
