Neutron scattering experiments, particularly on soft matter, often require precise labelling in order to target selected parts of the material to be studied. Due to the large quantity of hydrogen atoms in soft matter and the marked contrast between hydrogen and its isotope, deuterium selectively replacing hydrogen atoms with deuterium is a versatile strategy to influence the contrast within a material.
To make partially or fully deuterated materials available to users, JCNS offers a synthesis service for deuterated polymers, ethoxylation and small molecules.
At https://indico.frm2.tum.de/e/deuteration3, you will find all the relevant information, and you can register and submit your proposal.
Deadline will be April 28th, 2025.
Please don’t forget: Contact before submitting a proposal!
If your proposal is accepted, the materials will be provided for free (up to a reasonable cost of starting materials) in exchange for co-authorship for the responsible member of the deuteration team.
We are looking forward to receiving your proposal!
Have a nice day
Ina
