Interfaces are integral to major research fields in chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering science. Progress within this field has provided industry the bases for successful products in modern electronics, spintronics and nanoscience products, bio-based materials, drug deliveryand biomedical devices, coatings, lubrication and surface processes including cleaning. The grazing incidence small-angle neutron scattering (GISANS) technique enables the full structure and morphology of surfaces, films, and interfaces to be investigated. The ESS provides a first and world-unique opportunity since it’s very high brilliance will allow GISANS measurements that are at least an order of magnitude faster than at existing sources, and thereby allow the technique to become a crucial and widely utilized tool for surface science.
A concerted Swedish initiative to prepare for the design and construction of a GISANS instrument, SAGA, at ESS has been developed during the last couple of years thanks to the close collaboration and joint efforts of all the main Swedish research institutions with neutron activities, which has benefitted from the close collaboration with international partners.. We now want to welcome you to web symposium on the GISANS technique, featuring two pioneers on the techniques Dr. William A. Hamilton, USA and Professor Peter Müller-Buschbaum, Germany. We will also provide an updated on the SAGA initiative and some recent progress in the application of GISANS.
