Small Angle Scattering of X-Rays

Porosity plays a clearly important role in geology. It controls fluid storage in aquifers, oil and gas fields and geothermal systems, and the extent and connectivity of the pore structure control fluid flow and transport through geological formations, as well as the relationship between the properties of individual minerals and the bulk properties of the rock. In order to quantify the relationships between porosity, storage, transport and rock properties, however, the pore structure must be measured and quantitatively described. The overall importance of porosity, at least with respect to the use of rocks as building stone was recognized by TS Hunt in his “Chemical and Geological Essays” (1875, reviewed by JD Dana 1875) who noted:

> “Other things being equal, it may properly be said that the value of a stone for building purposes is inversely as its porosity or absorbing power.”

In a Geological Survey report prepared for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, Manger (1963) summarized porosity and bulk density measurements for sedimentary rocks. He tabulated more than 900 items of porosity and bulk density data for sedimentary rocks with up to 2,109 porosity determinations per item. Amongst these he summarized several early studies, including those of Schwarz (1870–1871), Cook (1878), Wheeler (1896), Buckley (1898), Gary (1898), Moore (1904), Fuller (1906), Sorby (1908), Hirschwald (1912), Grubenmann et al. (1915), and Kessler (1919), many of which were concerned with rocks and clays of commercial utility. There have, of course, been many more such determinations since that time.

There are a large number of methods for quantifying porosity, and an increasingly complex idea of what it means to do so. Manger (1963) listed the techniques by which the porosity determinations he summarized were made. He separated these into seven methods for …

We describe two spin-echo instruments for neutron small angle scattering, which have been installed at the reactor institute in Delft. The first setup is using a monochromatic beam and magnetized foils as spin flippers, while the second uses resonant spin flippers in a pulsed neutron beam. The components that play an essential role for operation are described in some detail. Each setup has specific advantages in its range of spin-echo lengths that covers the range of correlation lengths that could be measured. This is demonstrated in a comparative measurement, the setup with magnetized foils measuring at spin-echo-lengths up to 20 μm and the setup with resonant flippers measuring in the range up to 0.5 μm.

Spin-echo small angle neutron scattering in Delft

The Goos-Hanchen effect is a spatial shift along an interface resulting from an interference effect that occurs for total internal reflection. This phenomenon was suggested by Sir Isaac Newton, but it was not until 1947 that the effect was experimentally observed by Goos and Hanchen. We provide the first direct, absolute, experimental determination of the Goos-Hanchen shift for a particle experiencing a potential well as required by quantum mechanics: namely, wave-particle duality. Here, the particle is a spin-polarized neutron reflecting from a film of magnetized material. We detect the effect through a subtle change in polarization of the neutron. Here, we demonstrate, through experiment and theory, that neutrons do exhibit the Goos-Hanchen effect and postulate that the associated time shift should also be observable.

Observation of the Goos-Hänchen Shift with Neutrons

The structure of hard-sphere colloidal suspensions is measured at different concentrations using the recently developed spin-echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESANS) technique. It is shown that SESANS measures real-space correlations ranging from the size of a single particle for a dilute suspension to several particle diameters for a concentrated suspension, glass and crystalline state.

Structural transitions of hard‐sphere colloids studied by spin‐echo small‐angle neutron scattering

OffSpec has been purposely built as a low background, polarised neutron reflectometer with spin-echo for Larmor labeling. The instrument received first neutrons in December 2008 and five of the intended seven modes of operation have now been tested and operated with peer reviewed user experiments. The technical performance of the instrument will be reviewed in each of the modes and future scientific possibilities discussed. Particular attention will be paid to results from spin-echo SANS (SESANS) and spin-echo resolved grazing incidence scattering (SERGIS), where the largest number of measurements have been performed.
