Book Description

ISBN-10: 1402033362 | ISBN-13: 978-1402033360 | Publication Date: December 22, 2005 | Edition: 1

- Up-to-date account of the principles and practice of inelastic and spectroscopic methods available at neutron and synchrotron sources - Multi-technique approach set around a central theme, rather than a monograph on one technique - Emphasis on the complementarity of neutron spectroscopy and X-ray spectroscopy which are usually treated in separate books

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: "The text outlines the basic science behind each method, giving the new user a good introduction to the area. … Overall, this text is a useful addition covering the theory and application of neutron and X-ray spectroscopy to a wide range of scientific areas. It is clearly written … . It will prove valuable for PhD and postdoctoral students. Each chapter is well referenced to current literature and gives the reader ample opportunity to expand on the introductions given in the book." (Dr. Stephen Skinner, Materials World, January, 2008)

From the Back Cover

Neutron and X-Ray Spectroscopy delivers an up-to-date account of the principles and practice of inelastic and spectroscopic methods available at neutron and synchrotron sources, including recent developments. The chapters are based on a course of lectures and practicals (the HERCULES course) delivered to young scientists who require these methods in their professional careers. Each chapter, written by a leading specialist in the field, introduces the basic concepts of the technique and provides an overview of recent work. This volume, which focuses on spectroscopic techniques in synchrotron radiation and inelastic neutron scattering, will be a primary source of information for physicists, chemists and materials scientists who wish to acquire a basic understanding of these techniques and to discover the possibilities offered by them. Emphasizing the complementarity of the neutron and X-ray methods, this tutorial will also be invaluable to scientists already working in neighboring fields who seek to extend their knowledge.

This review is from: Neutron and X-ray Spectroscopy (Hardcover)

I like this book. I would also strongly recommend Elements of Modern X-ray Physics by Als-Nielsen and McMorrow. And If you are looking for an electrodynamics book, I prefer the one by Jackson, though the one by Griffiths might be easier to handle if you don't need to understand a lot of very particular situations.
