摘要
Neutrons are a powerful probe in material science with unique penetrating abilities. A major challenge stems from the fact that neutron optical devices are limited to refractive indices on the order of n approximate to 1 +/- 10(-5). By exploiting advances in precision manufacturing, we designed and constructed micro-meter period triangular grating with a high-aspect ratio of 14.3. The manufacturing quality is demonstrated with white-light interferometric data and microscope imaging. Neutron-scattering experiment results are presented, showing agreement with refraction modelling. The capabilities of neutron Fresnel prisms and lenses based on this design are contrasted with existing neutron focusing techniques, and the path separation of a prism-based neutron interferometer is estimated.
