Omniplex
Special environment developed by ORNL scientists to study thermal-magnetic materials processing. For the first time ever, in-situ, time-resolved measurements of the shift in the equilibrium phase transformation temperatures by the application of a high magnetic field at elevated temperatures have been accomplished using neutron diffraction methods on Fe-C binary alloys.
Controlled environment sample cell for in situ neutron scattering studies of clathrate hydrates. The image to the right shows methane hydrate forming in the upper half of the sapphire cell.
