    USANS study of wood structure
    (Elsevier, 2006-11-15) Garvey, CJ; Knott, RB; Searson, M; Conroy, JP
    Wood performs a vascular and structural function in trees. In this study we used the double-crystal diffractometer BT5 at the NIST Center for Neutron Scattering (Gaithersburg, USA) to study the pore structure inside wood sections. The slit-smeared intensity of scattered neutrons was measured from wood sections in directions parallel, orthogonal and transverse to the tree's trunk axis over a scattering vector range 0.00004-0.002 angstrom(-1). The interpretation of the data in terms of a reductionist model consisting of infinitely long cylinders (cell lumens) is discussed. © 2006, Elsevier Ltd.

The slit-smeared intensity of scattered neutrons was measured from wood sections in directions parallel, orthogonal and transverse to the tree's trunk axis over a scattering vector range 0.00004–0.002 Å−1. The interpretation of the data in terms of a reductionist model consisting of infinitely long cylinders (cell lumens) is discussed with reference to the literature on wood ultrastructure. © The Authors
