A unified quantum random walk model for internal crystal effects in dynamical diffraction
Owen Lailey, Dusan Sarenac, David G. Cory +2
The theory of dynamical diffraction (DD) in perfect crystals is the backbone of high-precision neutron and X-ray diffraction experiments, enabling accurate determination of crystal…
Experimental Limit on Neutron Orbital Angular Momentum Detection Using Polarized 3He
D. Sarenac, O. Lailey, D. V. Garrad +11
A recent proposal suggested that neutron orbital angular momentum (OAM) states could be detected via spin-polarized absorption in polarized 3He, with predicted cross-section variat…
Multimode structured neutron beams
Owen Lailey, Dusan Sarenac, Charles W. Clark +9
The experimental realization of neutron orbital angular momentum (OAM) states and neutron Airy beams has opened new avenues for structured neutron science in both materials charact…
Generation of neutron Airy beams
Dusan Sarenac, Owen Lailey, Melissa E. Henderson +8
The Airy wave packet is a solution to the potential-free Schrodinger equation that exhibits remarkable properties such as self-acceleration, non-diffraction, and self-healing. Alth…
