  • Red arrows represent electron spin orientations in a portion of the YbMgGaO4 crystal structure, where antiferromagnetic interactions between groups of magnetic moments cause neighboring spins to align anti-parallel to one another. This mechanism is partially responsible for the quantum spin liquid behavior observed in the neutron scattering data, illustrated on the hexagonal tiles. (Image credit: ORNL/Jill Hemman)
    Neutrons identify key ingredients of the quantum spin liquid recipe
  • A team at SNS developed a hydrogen-rated gas intensifier that will soon provide a new way to load diamond anvil cells at SNS. From left to right: Reini Boehler, Chris Tulk, Matt Rucker, Mark Loguillo, Mark Overbay, Jamie Mollison, and Doug Armitage. Image credit: Genevieve Martin/ORNL.

  • A team from ORNL, Indiana University and Max Planck Institute in Germany has implemented a technique with Wollaston prisms to expand the capabilities currently available at ORNL’s High Flux Isotope Reactor instrument HB-1. Thomas Keller (back, right), a visiting physicist from Max Planck, traveled to Oak Ridge to observe how HFIR’s team was handling the same prism technology used for ultra-high spectroscopy at his own laboratory.

    Addition of seventh HFIR cycle provides more research time for the user community
  • Accelerator physicist Sarah Cousineau has dedicated her career to unraveling the world’s mysteries through physics. A large part of solving those mysteries, she says, means getting the next generation of physicists ready for the same challenge.

  • The SNS LINAC is the most powerful proton-pulsed accelerator in the world. Stretching the length of nearly three football fields, the LINAC is responsible for focusing and propelling protons to roughly 90 percent the speed of light just before they smash into a liquid mercury target, releasing about 25 neutrons for every proton to be used for scientific discovery.

  • In 1994, Clifford Shull was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the neutron diffraction technique he and Ernest Wollan developed nearly five decades earlier at ORNL. The joint University of Tennessee and ORNL institute for neutron sciences was dedicated in their names in September 2016. Image credit: ORNL
