Description

Full text: We report on coherent elastic diffraction of thermal neutrons from gratings holographically prepared in nano-particle-dispersed polymers. In contrast to a previously designed LLL-interferometer from polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) based gratings or holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystals (HPDLC) these media offer a big variety of possibilities to optimize the diffraction properties for beam splitters and mirrors. Thus nanoparticle dispersed polymers prove to be ideal materials for implementation as gratings in a neutron interferometer. (author)
