Neutron research using the IVV-2M reactor

Methods based on using thermal and fast neutron fluxes provide a unique opportunity to acquire scientific information. Radiation disordering in materials, being a consequence of their exploitation in special applications, can be used as an effective approach to bring a material to a state often unachievable by any other method. From the crystal response to the respective action, one can obtain unique information on the crystal’s electron and lattice subsystems, which are responsible for the physical properties of materials in the initial (nonirradiated) state.
