IBR-2 reactor is resuming operation after substitution of new movable reflector. A cycle has been established of 2 weeks of operation for users, each followed by a one week period for maintenance and machine development. There is a long shut down period between the end of June and the middle of October. Experimental facilities of the IBR-2 are open to the general scientific community.
Spectrometer can operate as a reflectometer to study magnetic and superconducting thin films.
The investigations are the micromagnetism of ferromagnetic and the mixed state of super-conductors, and reflectometry studies of thin magnetic films. The main investigations are connected with phase transitions and molecular dynamics of polymorphic substances. If you wish to apply for beam time on an instrument, please submit a proposal. Proposal forms are included in our mailing for the call for proposals. Proposals must be typewritten in English and fully self-contained within the proposal, since no additional material will be transmitted to the experts.
