What Does WAND Stand For?
WAND stands for Wide Angle Neutron Diffraction
WAND, or Wide Angle Neutron Diffraction, is an advanced scientific technique utilized to investigate the structural properties of materials at the atomic level. By employing neutrons to probe sample structures, WAND offers detailed insights into crystal structures, magnetic properties, and phase transitions. This method is particularly valuable for studying complex materials, enabling researchers to analyze domain structures and internal stresses, thereby advancing fields such as materials science, chemistry, and biology. The wide angle capabilities enhance resolution and data quality, making WAND an essential tool for modern neutron scattering research.
