Neutron is a unique particle that interacts with materials in a different way than X-rays. Therefore, it is widely used to investigate properties of materials that are not observable with X-rays, such as position and amount of hydrogen in hydrous minerals and its vibration/diffusion properties. In this talk, we introduce results obtained in Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility in J-PARC.
