A new scheme for the short baseline electron antineutrino (${\bar{\nu}}_{e}$)disappearance study is investigated. We propose to use an intense neutronemitter, $^{252}$Cf, which produces $^{8}$Li isotope through the$^{7}$Li(n,$\gamma$)$^{8}$Li reaction; $^{8}$Li is a ${\bar{\nu}}_{e}$ emittervia $\beta^{-}$ decay. Because this ${\bar{\nu}}_{e}$ source needs neitheraccelerator nor reactor facilities, the ${\bar{\nu}}_{e}$ can be placed on anyneutrino detectors as closely as possible. This short baseline circumstancewith a suitable detector enables us to study the existence of possible sterileneutrinos, in particular, on 1 eV mass scale. Also, complementary comparisonstudies among different neutrino detectors can become feasible by using${\bar{\nu}}_{e}$ from the $^{8}$Li source. As an example, applications tohemisphere and cylinder shape scintillator detectors are performed in detailwith the expectation signal modification by the sterile neutrino. Sensitivitiesto mass and mixing angles of sterile neutrinos are also presented forcomparison with those of other neutrino experiments.
