Small-Angle Neutron Scattering from Dynamically Polarized Hydrogenous Materials

Small-sngle neutron scattering from the hydrogenous materrials EHBA-Cr V and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 dissolved in the deuterated or partially deuterated propanediol was investigated with pulsed white thermal neutrons. The dynamical nuclear polarization technique was applied to polarize tFte nuclear spins of the samples. The typical small-angle scattering patterns and their enhancement by the nuclear polarization could be observed. The results are in good agreement with the theoretical calculations, indicating the feasibility of the combination of small-angle neutron scattering and dynamical nuclear polarization technique for the study of semi-macrostructures of hydrogenous materials.
