Polarized NeutronsThis book provides the experimental condensed-matter researcher with a description of the variety of material characteristics which can now be investigated with polarized neutrons. Included are two extensive chapters on basic theory and currently available instrumentation, and a presentation and discussion of scientific results obtained from a wide range of experiments: diffraction, critical reflection, elastic and inelastic polarization analysis, and neutron spin precession methods like spin-echo spectroscopy. |
