Summary:The experimental capabilities and results of recent studies of the crystal and magnetic structure of functional materials on the diffractometers DN-12 and DN-6 of upgraded high-flux pulsed reactor IBR-2 in wide ranges of high pressures and temperatures are reviewed. The combination of high neutron flux on a sample, wide-aperture multidetector systems, and focusing devices has made it possible to implement diffraction experiments on samples with record-low volumes under ultrahigh pressures (up to 35 GPa) in the temperature range of 5–300 K. The results of recent studies of the structural and magnetic phase transitions in ferroelectrics, multiferroics, low-dimensional magnets, and other materials are presented.
