Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of small-angle neutron scattering technology, specifically a sample environment provision system suitable for small-angle neutron scattering spectrometers. Background Technology

[0002] Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is a powerful, non-destructive technique that can provide information about the structure and composition of matter, and has been widely applied in various fields in recent years. The sample environment is becoming increasingly important because most cutting-edge scientific neutron scattering is conducted under specific sample conditions. External electric fields have long been a very useful tool for manipulating matter from the molecular to the micrometer scale and are one of the important external forces for controlling the physicochemical properties of materials.

[0003] Currently, there have been some reports on the progress of sample environments for various neutron sources, but there is very little information on the development of electric fields as sample environments. When using electric fields for scientific research, both domestically and internationally, most methods involve direct energization or inserting conductive tubes or wires directly into the sample to obtain an electric field, rarely considering field strength uniformity and breakdown voltage. The constraints that usually limit the practicality of electric field devices are field strength uniformity and breakdown voltage. Field strength uniformity is not only closely related to factors such as electrode size, material, geometry, and gas environment, but also requires consideration of practical factors such as spatial location, surface treatment, and combining electrode size and configuration with the actual situation of neutron scattering experiments.

[0004] Regarding the design progress of electric field sample environment devices for small-angle neutron scattering spectrometers both domestically and internationally, there is still no complete system for providing electric field sample environments. Moreover, most of the electric field devices already in use generally suffer from drawbacks such as limited application scenarios, difficulty in sample installation, complex experimental operations, poor field strength uniformity, low safety performance, and limited functionality, making it difficult to provide a good system for providing sample environments for small-angle neutron scattering spectrometers. Based on this, we propose a sample environment providing system suitable for small-angle neutron scattering spectrometers to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Bruce proposed an electrode scheme, such as Figure 12 As shown, the electrode cross-sectional profile is divided into three parts. The first part begins with a linear section of radius R0, followed by a sinusoidal section extending radially by a distance A, and finally terminates with a circular section. Each section smoothly merges tangentially into the next section, as shown in the reference section. Figure 12 In a coordinate system, the sinusoidal cross-sectional profile can be represented as:

[0043]

[0044] In the formula, x0 and R e These are the x-coordinate of the circle's center and the circle's radius, respectively.

[0045] To ensure a smooth transition between the various parts defining the Bruce profile, Re and X0 must be defined according to the following definitions.

[0046]

[0047]

[0048] In the above formula, α0 is the characteristic angle of the sine function of the cross section.

[0049] Therefore, the total radius R and thickness T of the electrode can be expressed as:

[0065] D = 2R = 208mm.

[0066] The working principle of this invention is:

[0067] The sample is placed on the sample holder 34. A neutron source emits an incident neutron beam, which strikes the sample through the neutron beam incident window 3 and then through the exit window 41 before hitting the detector. Simultaneously, a high voltage is applied to the upper electrode 55 and lower electrode 56, generating a uniform electric field. This electric field acts on the sample. The electric field generated by the upper electrode 55 and lower electrode 56 is adjustable and controllable, effectively meeting the requirements for the sample's electric field. By controlling the energization of the vacuum stepper motor 30, the rotating end of the vacuum stepper motor 30 drives the trapezoidal lead screw 40 to rotate. The rotation of the trapezoidal lead screw 40 moves the vertical slider assembly 33, thereby moving the sample holder 34. The movement of the sample holder 34 moves the sample's position. Furthermore, the sample holder 34 can... The sample is moved forward to the designated position and irradiated with ultraviolet light through the ultraviolet light source irradiation port 11 into the vacuum chamber 1. The sample holder 34 moves the sample to the underside of the ultraviolet light source for ultraviolet light aggregation. Through the setting of the heat exchange platform 17, hot oil enters the heating medium circulation channel 54 through the heating oil inlet 53 and then exits through the heating oil outlet 52. The circulation of hot oil continuously provides heat. During the heating process, heat is exchanged to the heat exchange ceramic plate 47. The heat emitted by the heat exchange ceramic plate 47 provides the ambient temperature required for the test around the sample. Furthermore, the ambient temperature around the sample can be controlled by controlling the input oil temperature. Combined with small-angle neutron scattering and under the electric field force, the structural characteristics and physicochemical properties of the material can be studied in situ.

[0068] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
