In a recent paper [L. Cser, G. Krexner, and Gy. Török, Europhys. Lett. 54, 747 (2001)]] the use of thermal neutrons with wavelengths close to interatomic distances in condensed matter was proposed to obtain holographic images on an atomic scale. Two experimental methods were considered which either put the radiation source inside and the detector outside the object or vice versa. The second approach, called the inside-detector concept, requires strongly neutron-absorbing isotopes acting as pointlike detectors in the sample. In the present work, we demonstrate the feasibility of this technique by recording a holographic image of a lead nuclei in a Pb(Cd) single crystal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
