- First book to collect the diverse elements of neutron powder diffraction
- Highlights the diversity of problems that can be studied using the technique and gives concrete theoretical and practical guidance on their solution
- Emphasises both the crystallographic aspects AND the wider applications to which it is also well suited (quantitative phase analysis, microstructural analysis, residual stress analysis, and elastic constant determination)
- Gives examples of the benefits of in situ experiments conducted in real time under simulated service or actual synthesis conditions
- Explores new areas such as the use of peak broadening analysis to investigate gradients within materials in non-equilibrium conditions (e.g. functionally gradient materials)
This is the first book covering the theory, practicalities, and the extensive applications of neutron powder diffraction in materials science, physics, chemistry, mineralogy and engineering. Various highlight applications of neutron powder diffraction are outlined in the introduction, then the theory is developed and instrumentation described sufficient for a return to the applications. The book covers the use of neutron powder diffraction in the solution (hard) and refinement (more straightforward) of crystal and magnetic structures,
applications of powder diffraction in quantitative phase analysis, extraction of microstructural information from powder diffraction patterns, and the applications of neutron diffraction in studies of elastic properties and for the measurement of residual stress. Additional theory to underpin these various applications is developed as required. Much of the material should be accessible to senior undergraduates in science and engineering, as well as to graduate students and more senior researchers with an interest in the technique.Readership: Graduate students and researchers in physics, chemistry, materials science, mineralogy, and crystallography.

"The Oxford series gained a reputation for being authorative and, as far as the many aspects of neutron powder diffraction are concerned, newcomers will find all they need to guide them in applying the technique to their needs, whether they magnetism, amorphous materials or stress analysis.
