Development of an aerodynamic levitation sample environment for Time of Flight spectrometers

DOI

Currently, the dynamics of liquids at very high temperatures is not well studied due to the difficulty of working at very high temperatures, mainly due to chemical interaction between the sample and container. Based on the successful experience in using our containerless technique of aerodynamic levitation for neutron diffraction experiments (D4 and D22 instruments), we propose to develop our levitation technique for inelastic neutron scattering (INS), starting with the Time Of Flight (TOF) instrument IN6 at the ILL. Funding for this development is already assured by our successful ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche) project, but we need several days of beamtime per year at IN6 for tests and trial experiments. Although applicable to a variety of liquid samples (molten oxides, liquid alloys) and ultimately many ILL instruments, this levitation development is also an important part of an ILL PhD thesis (Jad Kozaily) that aims to study the evolution of the structure, dynamics and fragility in calcium aluminosilicate glasses.
