| Abstract: | Suggests that since neutrons are highly penetrating, neutron diffraction of ancient ceramics allows non-destructive investigations of bulk samples rather than of surface layers or powdered material. This is said to mean that complete, intact specimens can be studied. A time-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffractometer is said to offer additional advantages considering experimental set-up, accommodation of large objects and data collection times. Initial tests indicated that reliable results can be obtained by illuminating a large piece or even a complete ceramic object without causing damage. Medieval Rhenish ceramics were used in testing. | ||||||
