Neutron and synchrotron facilities, which are beyond the scale ofthe laboratory, and supported on a national level in countriesthroughout the world. These tools forprobing micro- and nano-structure research and on fastdynamics research of atomic location in materials have been key inthe development of new polymer-based materials. Different fromseveral existing professional books on neutron science, thisbook focuses on theory, instrumentation, an applications.
The book is divided into five parts:
Part 1 describes the underlying theory of neutronscattering.
Part 2 describes the various instruments that exist and thevarious techniques used to achieve neutron scattering orbombardment.
Part 3 discusses data treatment and simulation methods as wellas how to assess the environment of the sample (temperature,pressure, shear, and external fields).
Part 4 addresses the myriad applications of small and largemolecules, biomolecules, and gels.
Part 5 describes the various global neutron sources that existand provides an overview of the different reactors.
