Applications of Neutron Scattering to Inorganic MaterialsEditie 1

Applications of Neutron Scattering to Inorganic Materials offers a comprehensive introduction to a powerful suite of neutron scattering techniques that underpin modern inorganic materials research. Edited by Dr Lucy Clark (University of Birmingham), this volume brings together leading experts to explore how neutron-based methods reveal critical insights into structure–property–function relationships across a diverse range of materials. From neutron diffraction and total scattering to quasi-elastic and inelastic neutron spectroscopy, each chapter presents a pedagogical overview of the technique, recent advances in instrumentation, and its application to contemporary materials challenges—including magnetism, catalysis, and energy materials. Designed for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers entering the field, this book fills a critical gap in the literature, integrating fundamental principles with cutting-edge research. It is an essential resource for those seeking to understand and apply neutron scattering in the context of inorganic materials chemistry.
