Neutron Scattering with a Triple-Axis Spectrometer: Basic Techniques

by Stephen M. Shapiro, John M. Tranquada, Gen Shirane

Book Overview

Neutron scattering is an extremely powerful tool in the study of elemental excitations in condensed matter. This book provides a practical guide to basic techniques using a triple-axis spectrometer. Introductory chapters summarize useful scattering formulas and describe the components of a spectrometer, followed by a comprehensive discussion of the resolution function and focusing effects. Later sections include simple examples of phonon and magnon...
