Summary

Time-resolved neutron scattering is a powerful tool to probe the bulk transformation process of materials in situ. The main drawback of the technique is that it is often flux limited. For reversible transformations this can in some cases be circumvented by applying stroboscopic methods. In cases where the structure of the material continuously evolves during repeated transformations the single-shot method needs to be applied. An overview is presented of the time-resolved neutron scattering studies performed on structure evolutions in materials. The examples cover a wide range of materials related to structural materials, magnetic materials and food studied by neutron diffraction, 3D neutron depolarisation and Spin-Echo SANS.
