Single-crystal neutron diffractometry — Recent developments and trends

An overview is given over recent developments and trends in single-crystal neutron diffractometry. Special emphasis is put on instrumental developments which have considerably enhanced the efficiency of neutron scattering experiments over the last years by improving monochromator and/or detector systems. Not discussed are developments in the field of polarised neutrons. Examples from the Berlin Neutron Scattering Center (BENSC) are given for the measurement of short-range magnetic order using the flat-cone diffractometer E2 of BENSC and of the study of long-range magnetic order making use of a high-field cryomagnet at BENSC. The perspectives of neutron diffractometry within the next 5 to 10 years are discussed with view on the new powerful spallation sources SNS (under construction in the United States), JSNS (under construction in Japan) and ESS, the European Spallation Source, planned to be constructed in Europe.
