Neutron Scattering in Materials Science II: Volume 376

Neutron scattering proves itself a highly international area of research as scientists and engineers from twenty-one countries come together in this volume - to discuss the growth and maturation of the use of neutrons as a probe in materials research and to survey current applications. A wide range of materials are examined, including polymers, cements, high-Tc superconducting oxides and carbides, inorganic glasses, magnetic films, ceramics and metallic alloys. Topics include: instrumentation at major neutron facilities in North America; developments in instrumentation and techniques; neutron reflectivity studies of surfaces and interfaces; small angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies of polymers and complex fluids; SANS studies of ceramics and metals; residual stress analysis; cementitious materials; high-Tc superconducting materials; interfaces, multilayers and nanocrystals of magnetic materials; oxide materials; inorganic glasses; alloys; and adsorbed systems, inelastic scattering and dynamics.
