Scientific research involving neutrons or synchrotron radiation is
performed in large experimental installations at a few sites around
the world. Taking full advantage of such techniques requires a wide
range of specialized expertise not found in any university course.
Therefore, there is a need for reference books and training courses
to introduce young scientists to the underlying principles and
methods. 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 at the European Synchrotron
Radiation Facility) 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.
