X-rays, Neutrons Ans Muons Combingin Synchrotron Radiation Techniques For Material...

Aiming elementary particles at surfaces and observing the result in order to glean information on the material is an old discipline: spectroscopy using photons has been performed for more than a century. But recently, a number of much more exotic, subatomic particles such as neutrons, muons or x-rays have been generated in modern cyclotrons and synchrotrons, and due to the steadily growing availability of measurement capacitythey have become attractive as alternative ways of probing condensed matter in order to better understand its properties and to correlate material behaviour with its structure. In particular, the combined use of several different types of particles such as x-rays, neutrons and muons yields rich information. This book gives a practical account of how well they complement each other for 21st century materials characterization.Fischer, WE is the author of 'X-rays, Neutrons Ans Muons Combingin Synchrotron Radiation Techniques For Material...
