Inelastic neutron

Vibrations in molecules or in solid lattices are excited by the absorption of photons (infrared spectroscopy), or by the scattering of photons (Raman spectroscopy), electrons (electron energy loss spectroscopy) or neutrons (inelastic neutron scattering). If the vibration is excited by the interaction of the bond with a wave...

Up to now, neutron inelastic scattering has not played a major role in the study of the actinides and there are good reasons for this a large amount of material is needed (0.5 cm crystals) so that studies started only recently and are confined to uranium systems. Moreover, the complexity of the results obtained has made interpretation of the experiments difficult.
