Neutron Analytics for Energy Research (JCNS-3)

The development of materials for energy conversion and storage is one of the most important challenges for solving the energy problem. Neutrons are a unique probe to characterise the structure, kinetics and dynamics of materials over many length and time scales. At JCNS-3, various neutron and complementary X-ray methods are used and developed to study complex energy systems in-situ and operando.

News and Events

New data for the analysis of critical raw materials

Dr. Eric Mauerhofer from Forschungszentrum Jülich and his colleagues at RWTH Aachen University and the University of Cologne have published new findings on the gamma emissions of nickel, zirconium, lanthanum, and praseodymium. These elements are indispensable materials for sustainable energy systems and high-tech industries.

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.
