Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

Neutron scattering is a powerful technique for determining the position of atoms in novel materials. Therefore, the incident beam has to be collimated by thin absorbing foils. Suitable inks and printing procedures will be identified to optimize the absorption and mechanical properties of the films.
