Abstract
A brief introduction is given to neutron scattering. Emphasis is given to references to textbooks rather than a complete treatise. Examples of vibrational spectroscopy and the determination of spin densities are then given to illustrate new applications of neutron scattering that are of interest to chemical crystallographers.
