Applications of Neutron Scattering to Inorganic Materials

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.
