Neutron standing waves in layered systems: Formation, detection, and application in neutron physics and for investigation of nanostructures

Specific features of different regimes of the neutron's wave field are theoretically considered. The results of experimental studies of the regime of a neutron's standing waves both in the primary channel of neutron specular reflection and in different channels of registration of secondary emission are considered. Some studies of layered structures performed with the help of a neutron's standing waves are considered. The prospects of application of a neutron's standing waves in neutron physics and for investigation of layered nanostructures are considered.
