Neutron scattering has been used for
the research of magnetic materials, soft-matters,
bio-matters, and engineering materials in
Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Material
Science for about past 50 years. As
being emphasized further the importance
of developing new materials, worldly, a
lot of fund and manpower would be invested
into new neutron supplying facilities and
neutron scattering instruments. Up
to now, HANARO has kinds of facilities using
unpolarized neutrons only. These facilities
enable us to conduct experiments and researches
of magnetic materials with some limits,
compared with the ones utilizing polarized
neutron source. When investigating
magnetic materials, it is possible to do
various experiments using the polarized
neutrons with outstanding advantages of
the hardware of HANARO. For the development
of a polarized neutron scattering device,
it is necessary to develope elementary polarized
neutron technologies such as producing,
retaining, and controlling the polarized
neutrons. It is, therefore, absolutly
necessary to develope core technologies
for the polarized neutron experimental devices
which will be commissioned in HANARO afterwards. In
addition evaluation facility is also developing
for detectors, monochromators, collimators
and neutron mirrors because wavelength and
beam divergence are easily changed.
