Abstract
Functional materials are central to many technologically important devices and systems. Such
materials are often multifunctional and highly responsive. Developing experimental
approaches that specifically target functional materials is essential to obtaining a mechanistic
understanding of function that leads directly to their advancement. This is particularly relevant
given the increasing power and speed of characterization instrumentation, allowing real-time
and non-equilibrium measurement of the material during operation to be made. Neutron
scattering is a broad range of characterization techniques that allow the atomic and molecular
scale structure and dynamics of materials to be understood. Importantly, the attributes of
neutrons give a unique perspective of this detail, which is unavailable to X-ray methods. This
presentation will highlight studies using neutron scattering to understand the functionality of
industrially-relevant materials. Examples of neutron studies of materials for application in
technologies including batteries and pressure sensing devices will be given.
