Inhaltsangabe

This book enters a realm of knowledge through the gateway of neutron powder diffraction, an accessible, yet powerfully insightful tool for examining material structures in great depth. By measuring how neutrons scatter when striking materials, the method unveils not only atomic structures, but also magnetic structures and pair distribution functions in non-crystalline solids, liquids and gases. As a result, it has become a principal technique for exploring everything from diamond and graphite to proteins and superconductors. The book builds up essential concepts before describing how neutron diffraction is used to study high temperature superconductors, colossal magnetoresistors, and residual stress in materials. Delving into the fascinating structure of solid C60, the author illustrates how neutron diffraction can uncover the nuances of molecular orientations and dynamics. The book presents a balanced overview, addressing both established understanding and ongoing research topics. By revealing the power of neutron diffraction to probe the atomic and magnetic structure of materials, this book opens up the field to a wider audience. Its comprehensive treatment and accessible language make it a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and students alike.
