Thermal Equilibration of Samples for Neutron Scattering

Abstract

Temperature relaxation and equilibration of samples for neutron scattering was investigated in a selection of samples and sample cells within the range of 5-300K. A sample model was developed that relates thermal relaxation time constants to material properties of the sample and sample cell. This model should facilitate extension of this study to prediction of thermal behavior in other systems.
