neutron resonance spin-echo

Neutron resonance spin-echo (NRSE) is a technique used in physics to study materials by examining how neutrons, particles in atoms, interact with them. Neutrons are given a precise magnetic spin orientation that precesses as they travel. When they pass through a material, interactions cause tiny changes in their spin precession, revealing details about the material’s microscopic structures and dynamics. NRSE enhances the measurement's sensitivity by detecting very small energy changes, allowing scientists to analyze slow processes or subtle features in materials with high resolution. It's a powerful tool for understanding material behavior at the atomic level.
