Scientific paper

At low temperatures the Doppler broadened widths of neutron resonances are strongly affected by the phonon characteristics of the material used for making the cross-section measurement. The Doppler width can be expressed in terms of the moments of the phonon spectrum carried by the atomic species with the resonant cross-section. Cross-section measurements made with tungsten and tantalum metals are reviewed here and compared with phonon information obtained by other methods. Applications of the method to a plutonium-gallium alloy and to some lanthanum barium cuprates are described briefly. We discuss possible extensions of the technique and how an epithermal flight path at the SNS may be advantageous.
