Abstract

The economy of the world today requires increasingly complex materials with specific properties to function perfectly. That is why, for nearly a century, neutrons have played a major role in increasing industries understanding of the material world. They allow physicists and engineers to study materials, revealing their atomic structures, dynamics, and magnetic properties to unravel how to make them stronger, lighter, and perform better. This work presents a review on principles and application of neutron scattering its importance in researching the properties of new materials critical to energy, therapeutic treatment, astronomy, radionuclide tracers, communication, and nanotechnology. The recent developments shown in this review provides information that can facilitate product development and improve the mechanics of new materials.
