Super ADAM @ ILL
Project description
The Super ADAM instrument is a state of the art neutron reflectometer located at the highest neutron flux research reactor worldwide. At the facility scientists conduct both cutting edge fundamental science and applied research for industrial projects. Super ADAM offers unique information not available by any other research tool in such areas as:
- magnetic layers, superlattices, heterostructures and magnetic meta-materials
- self-assembly of surfactants, polymers, lipids and proteins at solid and liquid interfacets
- rearrangement processes in thin films (e.g. diffusion, annealing, exchange, swelling etc.)
- encapsulation in and release from thin films e.g. drug delivery materials
- chemical and biochemical surface interactions and reactions
- hydrogen in metals
- ionic and magnetic liquids
Year
