Neutron Reflectometry

Więcej o książce

Neutron reflectrometry has a number of useful applications, including the characterization of thin films and layered structures, polymers, oxide coatings on metals, and biological membranes; investigation of magnetic materials; and location of low z elements in the presence of high z elements (useful in biology and polymer science). This volume contains the proceedings of a technical meeting on neutron reflectrometry that was organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency and held in Vienna in August of 2004. Thirteen papers are presented in all, discussing such topics as neutron reflectrometry applications to soft matter, principles of reflectrometry with reactors and pulsed sources, investigation of oxide films and corrosion, design of a neutron reflectometer at a research reactor, application of polarized neutron reflectrometry, and neutron specular reflectrometry theory. The papers also include reports on neutron reflectrometry activities in Australia, Germany, India, Greece, and Hungary. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
