dc.description.abstractThe Spatz neutron beam instrument is the second time-of-flight neutron reflectometer to be installed at the OPAL research reactor. The instrument was formerly the V18 BioRef reflectometer at the BER-II reactor in Berlin and was transferred to Australia in 2016. Subsequently the instrument was re-installed in the neutron guide hall of the OPAL reactor at the end position of the CG2B cold-neutron guide and recommissioned. The instrument performance has not been compromised by the move, with reflectivity achieved down to 10−7 and good counting statistics within a reasonable time frame using a wavelength range of 2–20 Å. Several different samples at the solid–air interface and the solid–liquid interface have been measured to demonstrate the instrument's capabilities. © The Authors - CC BY 4.0.en_AU
