This graduate-level text reviews the field of critical phenomena, including the use of neutron scattering techniques as an aid in their study. The book introduces the principles of magnetic systems and their critical dynamics, outlining the experimental and theoretical methods that have been used to understand the scattering effect. Measurements are examined for the dynamics and statics of one-, two-, and three-dimensional systems. Multicritical effects, critical phase transitions in magnetic metals, dilution, percolation, and random-field effects are also discussed in the light of neutron s

The application of neutron scattering to polymers provides information which cannot be obtained by other techniques and has allowed progress in our understanding of polymer conformation in the bulk. This book presents examples which are needed to understand how these techniques can be applied. It is specifically written to introduce the newcomer and non-expert in physics or chemistry to the experimental techniques and the basic theory necessary to understand the results.

This book provides an account of the calculation of the matrix elements of the magnetic interaction operator, extracting important, useful results from mathematical analysis. The authors give a complete theory of nonrelativistic magnetic neutron scattering with various tables listing nj symbols, fractional parentage coefficients, and various other quantities that arise naturally in the theory. Subsequently, the book takes account of the growing interest in magnetic photon scattering realized by synchrotron photon factories and contains an appropriate theory. While the treatment centers on sc

This is the first comprehensive account of diffuse neutron scattering, a unique tool for determining structural disorder in solids. The text takes the reader through theoretical, computational and experimental developments in the subject and describes in detail its application to a number of structural disorder problems. These include the more traditional subjects of substitutional disorder in alloys and orientational disorder in molecular systems as well as the more recent studies of superior and framework materials. Particular emphasis is placed on recent refinement methods for data interpre

This 4th volume of LIGHT SCATTERING REVIEWS is devoted to modern knowledge and milestones in both experimental and theoretical techniques related to light scattering and radiative transport problems. It consists of 3 chapters comprising 12 contributions written by leading world experts in their respective fields. The general focus of the book is on single light scattering and radiative transfer. The three chapters are devoted to experimental studies in the optics of light scattering media. The first chapter consists of three parts: In the first part, the main properties of scattering matric

This volume of proceedings consists of the papers presented during the 8th International Workshop on Mathematical Methods in Scattering Theory and Biomedical Engineering, held in Lefkada, Greece, on 27-29 September 2007. This book contains papers on scattering theory and biomedical engineering - two rapidly evolving fields which have a considerable impact on today’s research. All the papers are state-of-the-art, have been carefully reviewed before publication and the authors are well-known in the scientific community. In addition, some papers focus more on applied mathematics, which is t
