| Contract Number: | ERB-FMRX-CT96-0057 |
| Job Description: | Development and optimisation of Perfect Crystal Interferometers for neutrons. Optimisation includes check with X-rays, reducing geometrical tolerances, and eliminating thermal and vibrational disturbances for maximum fringe contrast. The ultimate aim is to establish phase-contrast microtomography for neutrons. |
| Scientific Discipline: | PHY - Perfect crystal optics for X-rays and neutrons; X-ray and neutron diffraction |
| Duration and Start Date: | PostDoc position for 12 months; start date 1999-05-01 |
| Place of Work: | University of Dortmund, Institute of Physics. (employing institution)
Most of the work has to be performed at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Braunschweig, where interferometers will be manufactured and tested. Additional work is done at Dortmund. Testing with neutrons is performed at the Institute Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble. |

1 PostDoc position available. The objective of the project is mainly
related to further development of the double crystal diffractometer (DCD)
for high resolution small angle neutron scattering (SANS) at the Jülich
research reactor FRJ2. This development is expected from investigations
of the so-called channel cut perfect Silicon single crystals, with the
aim to optimize the neutron intensity and the inherent background conditions.
Simultaneously, studies of µm large structures in artificial lattices
and in soft condensed matter should be performed at the DCD. These experiments
should be complemented with corresponding investigations at the pin hole
SANS diffractometer KWS1 at our facility.
Candidates should have finished their thesis work in physics, have to come from an European Union country outside Germany, and should be interested in experimental work. |
