Summary of the SANS Sample Environment and Equipment
SANS Sample Environment and Equipment
Sample environment equipment for static experimental conditions (sample holders, thermostats, furnaces, cryostats, magnet, vacuum and pressure, etc.) and dynamic conditions (stopped-flow, shear and flow experiments) are an essential adjunct to most small angle neutron scattering experiments to induce the sample being studied into a phase or state of particular interest. Here we give a brief overview of the diverse range of sample environment equipment that is currently in use, a background to its development and also some recent trends.
