2005 saw the opening of the new NEutron ReflectOmeter (NERO) at the GKSS research
centre in Geesthacht, Germany for the investigation of magnetic and non-magnetic
systems as well as soft matter nano-structures.
NERO operates with a monochromatic beam of neutrons of wavelength 0.433 nm
with a resolution better than 2 %. An angular range of 20 ◦ < θ < 100 ◦ allows for both
reflectometry and high angle diffraction measurements to be made on NERO. NERO
has both a position sensitive detector and a pencil detector installed for flexibility when
making specular and diffuse measurements.
NERO has been designed to accommodate heavy sample environments such as cryofurnaces
and various kinds of magnets. Polarization analysis is available for the investigation
of magnetic nano-structures. A super mirror stack with a wide angular
acceptance range will be available in 2006 for time efficient measurements of magnetic
diffuse reflectivity.
