Characterization of texture of bronze standards through Bragg edge diffractio...
The Bragg edge transmission technique (BET) is a diffraction method exploiting the edges appearing in the transmitted neutron spectra crossing polycrystalline materials and is... -
A wide-range energy and wave-vector transfer instrument for pulsed sources
Neutron scattering is a powerful technique to reveal structure and dynamics in condensed matter, espacially in hydrogen containing materials. For these systems, the experimental... -
Investigation of the structural and magnetic properties of new Co based fluor...
We have recently managed to prepare powder samples and small single crystals of BaCoF4, BaNiF4, Ba2Co3F10, and the new tetragonal compound Ba2CoF6. These materials are... -
Determination of the elemental composition in relation to the metal alloy usa...
We propose to obtain in elemental composition on Renaissance Bronzes related to the circle of the Sculpto Francois Duquesnoy. A recent attachment of a NRCA detector at INES will... -
Determination of the self absorption of gamma emission induced by nuclear res...
We intend to perform some measurements with three NRCA gamma detectors in different geometric configurations in the INES block house in order to get information about the... -
Identification of the microstructural characteristics of Damascus steel in 4 ...
From 2009 we have measured at ISIS selected samples of Indian blades from Hyderabad and other private collections in order to determine their phase distribution by neutron... -
Investigation of the phases and chemical composition of early Roman Victoriat...
The proposal involves the non-invasive measurement of ancient Roman coins by ToF diffraction techniques. A well selected series of Victoriati are to be measured in order to... -
Characterization of a relative residual strain map of an Indian sword by neutron
Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting topics of archaeometry but, in order to achieve a good level of characterization of the artefacts studied by traditional... -
Quantitative mineral phase determination of the core material from two Renais...
We propose to characterize the core material of two Renaissance Statues. The results of this study will provide us with quantitative information on the mixture of material for... -
Characterization of the anisotropy of the micro-structural properties of work...
Time of flight neutron diffraction (ToF-ND) is a powerful technique for the characterization of the micro-structural properties of the phases present in the sample. The Rietveld... -
Investigation of cross talk level among an array of thermal neutron counters ...
The research and development of new detection devices is a key issue to be addressed in neutron scattering due to the lack of 3He worldwide. Neutron radiative capture in heavy... -
Identification of Hidden Coins from an Egyptian site
The application of neutron based techniques in the field of archaeology is quite recent. In particular, the development of neutron tomography and its application on cultural... -
Structural Phase Characterisation of Iron Stone Objects from the Excavation s...
We propose to determine the mineral phase composition in 15 iron stone samples from the Tall Bazi excavation site in Syria. The results of this investigation will be compared... -
ToF-ND microstructural imaging for 17th-18th c. European sword blades.
The key objective is mapping the internal microstructure of a series of samples of European sword blades from the 17th-18th c. The samples, which include a full blade and are... -
A high resolution cooled neutron radiography camera on INES
Grazzi, Scherillo and Zoppicon 1) have for the first time demonstrated the feasibility of neutron radiography on a pulsed source at INES, using a simple CCD camera. To permit... -
Residual strain mapping of a Japanese helmet
In this experiment, we propose to analyze a lamellar structured helmet, with no rivets visible, from the Saotome school, whose products are considered, by most experts, as the... -
Non invasive characterization of two high quality lamellar Japanese helmets
Historical metallurgy is one of the most interesting fields of archaeometry. However, traditional analytical methods are often too invasive to be applied to the most interesting... -
Structural Phase Characterization of Iron Stone Mesopotamian Objects from the...
Mesopotamian iron oxide objects in the form of Roll seals and Weight are typical for the Old Babylonian Period (ca. 2000-1600 B.C.). In the museums they are usually cataloged as... -
