This work covers in some detail the application of neutron
scattering to different fields of physics, materials science,
chemistry, biology, the earth sciences and engineering. Its goal is
to enable researchers in a particular area to identify aspects of
their work in which neutron scattering techniques might contribute,
conceive the important experiments to be done, assess what is
required to carry them out, write a successful proposal for one of
the major user facilities, and perform the experiments under the
guidance of the appropriate instrument scientist.
The authors of the various chapters take account of the advances
in experimental techniques over the past 25 years--for example,
neutron reflectivity and spin-echo spectroscopy and techniques for
probing the dynamics of complex materials and biological systems.
Furthermore, with the third-generation spallation sources recently
constructed in the United States and Japan and in the advanced
planning stage in Europe, there is an increasing interest in
time-of-flight techniques and short wavelengths. Correspondingly,
the improved performance of cold moderators at both reactors and
spallation sources has extended the long-wavelength
capabilities.
