Abstract

The ISIS facility, situated at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, is the world’s most intense source of pulsed neutrons. The two powder diffractometers at ISIS are described, with particular reference to their use for measurements of applied and residual stress. A brief outline of an instrument optimised for enginnering applications of neutron scattering, currently being designed at ISIS, is also given. Finally, novel analysis software based on the traditional Rietveld technique allows (hkl) dependent peak shifts and broadening to be investigated.
