Description
"Neutrons and Nanoscience" offers a unique introduction to the use of neutron scattering methods to characterize and evaluate materials at the nanoscale, a technique of increasing value to materials research, condensed matter physics, biological physics and geosciences. An instructional overview of nanoscience and nanomaterials, paired with the fundamentals and techniques of neutron scattering and instrumentation, provides readers with an authoritative background applicable to a wide scope of scientific disciplines. Applications for thin film magnetism, biomembrane nanoscience, and the nanostructure studies of metals, ceramics and polymers are covered. Analytical treatment of the nano-bio interface, neutrons, photons, and geo-nanoscience complete this up-to-date reference, while providing an informative perspective of neutron capabilities in the future.
