The Study of Collective Excitations in Solids by Inelastic Neutron Scattering

  • Chapter
Spectroscopy and Dynamics of Collective Excitations in Solids

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 356))

Abstract

This paper reviews some of the properties which make neutrons a unique and versatile probe for dynamics of solids, and gives examples of results that have been obtained in some of the most central problem areas. Introductory chapters also treat aspects of neutron sources and the most important types of instrumentation for inelastic scattering.
