Abstract

Neutron scattering provides a sensitive probe for materials structure and dynamics and has had a profound impact on research ranging from quantum topological materials to archaeology to aerospace alloys. These experiments are incredibly data-rich and often challenging to interpret. Computational studies have been integral in the growing success of neutron science. From data collection and reduction to analysis and interpretation, computers are used at every stage of modern neutron experiments. State-of-the-art software allows for a deeper understanding of these powerful unique experiments. This themed issue, guest-edited by Dr. Jeff Armstrong, Dr. Keith T Butler, and Dr. Matthew R Ryder, brings together a collection of research highlighting the state-of-the-art in the application of computers in neutron science.
