Experimental Methods
For the characterization of our systems we employ a number of
complementary techniques:

These activities are supplemented by various collaborations
with others groups using complementary techniques.
For measurements requiring high intensity X-ray or neutron sources we
are using the facilities in Grenoble (ILL and ESRF), Hamburg (PETRA III),
Villigen (SLS), and Oxfordshire (DLS).
