Technique: Cold-neutron diffractometer
Contact:Pascal Manuel Why do we need WISH-2Wish-2 will be optimized for the study of single crystals and thin films whilst also allowing experiments on powdered samples. The scientific outputs of the beamline will provide unique understanding of complex materials that are essential to quantum technologies, hydrogen storage and sustainable growth. Combined with an upgrade to the existing Wish beamline to implement polarized neutron measurement capability, the instruments together promise transformative breakthroughs in Advanced Manufacturing, Materials of the Future and Clean Growth.
