Detailed Handbook of Neutron Optics and its Applications

Research and Markets has released a new book from John Wiley and Sons, titled, Handbook of Neutron Optics. Masahiko Utsuro and Vladimir Ignatovich have authored the book.

The handbook provides up-to-date information on the neutron optics field. With clearly structured text for easy accessibility, the book begins with the description on scalar particle’s scattering by one-dimensional systems. The next section discusses the neutron scattering with spin in the presence of one-dimensional potentials. The third part deals with the dynamical diffraction under a three-dimensional periodic system. The book concludes with the two sections of small angle and incoherent scattering, and other quantum mechanics’ problems. The details on neutron optics’ experiments, theories, and applications provide appropriate reading for materials scientists and nuclear physicists.

Masahiko Utsuro is an emeritus professor of Kyoto University. Currently, Utsuro performs his research at the Japan-based Research Center for Nuclear Physics in Osaka University. Vladimir Ignatovich, a senior scientist carries out his research works at the Russia-based Joint Institute for Nuclear Research JINR, Dubna. The authors have recognized teaching experience and expertise.
