Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the applications of neutron powder diffraction in materials science. The technique is described with particular attention to comparison with the X-ray powder diffraction technique to which it is complementary. In this context, emphasis is placed on rapid data acquisition and in-situ studies of phase transitions. Examples of some applications of the technique to materials science problems, at the HIFAR research reactor, Lucas Heights are included.
