When scientists from other laboratories approached NCNR staff with samples of these materials, the scattering studies were performed, results analyzed, and a manuscript submitted to a prestigious journal within a few days. The researchers managed to obtain some of the earliest definitive results on the structural and magnetic phase transitions quickly, resulting in immediate scientific impact and numerous citations that have put NCNR personnel and collaborators in a leadership position in the field.

The facility seems to be serving the needs of industrial users reasonably well, although it should continue to take a proactive role in educating industrial scientists about the unique advantages that neutrons offer in investigating certain problems. There appears to be substantial industrial involvement in the facility, through participating research teams (PRTs)

In particular, these industrial users seem eager to take advantage of the SANS instruments and reflectometers. A successful example is the Ultra-Small Angle Neutron Scattering (USANS)
