Welcome to the website of the
Société Française de la Neutronique
Welcome to the website of the
Société Française de la Neutronique
The SFN is a learned society created in 1994 to promote neutronics within the scientific community and to federate the French neutronics community, covering a wide range of scientific fields (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.).
Every year, it organises the Journées de la Diffusion Neutronique, during which it awards its thesis prize to a young scientist.
Thematic Schools are held regularly, with courses published and freely accessible.
Finally, this website is at your disposal: it provides a forum for exchanging information about neutronics. Don’t hesitate to contact us and provide new ideas of contents!
SFN documents
- Please find here the report of the round table on the future of French neutron scattering held during JDN2024.
- A round table on HiCANS and the ICONE project was held during the JDN2023. Please find here a summary of the discussion.
- The SFN calls for an ambitious French policy for neutron scattering. A letter has been sent in 2023 to the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the CNRS and the CEA.
Bulletin SFN-2FDN

HERCULES is a European school dedicated to thesis students and young researchers using Neutrons and Synchrotron Radiation for applications in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Condensed Matter (hard and soft).
Ordre magnétique non-conventionnel dans le réseau hyperkagomé Yb3Ga5O12
Une anomalie en chaleur spécifique à 54 mK dans le grenat d’ytterbium Yb3Ga5O12 signe un ordre magnétique identifié de longue date mais dont la détermination avait échappé aux sondes microscopiques jusqu’à présent. Par diffraction des neutrons, nous avons pu révéler la nature antiferromagnétique de cet ordre et l’arrangement non conventionnel obtenu pour les moments magnétiques souligne l’intérêt du réseau hyperkagomé associé à la structure des grenats pour la thématique des systèmes géométriquement frustrés.
