Total Neutron Scattering

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Neutron Scattering and Other Nuclear Techniques for Hydrogen in Materials

Part of the book series: Neutron Scattering Applications and Techniques ((NEUSCATT))

Abstract

Total neutron scattering is in many ways an extension of neutron powder diffraction (Chapter 3). However, rather then just considering the shape Bragg peaks, the total scattering from the sample is measured and analyzed. This includes the weaker diffuse scattering which contain information about short-range atomic strutural features. This chapter gives an introduction to total neutron scattering theory and instrumentation and gives an overview of total neutron scattering investigations of hydrogen storage materials.
