Editing Neutron diffraction (section)

=== Magnetic structure determination ===
Neutron diffraction is also a useful technique for determining magnetic structures in materials, as neutrons can interact with magnetic moments. It can be used to determine the [[Antiferromagnetism|antiferromagnetic]] structure of [[manganese oxide]] (MnO) using neutron diffraction. Neutron Diffraction Studies can be used to measure the [[magnetic moment]]. Orientation study demonstrates how neutron diffraction can detect the precise alignment of the magnetic moment in materials, something that is much more challenging with X-rays.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Lines |first1=M.
