Cer- tain investigations, however, are difficult or totally impossible to conduct using x-rays, for example, the localization of atomic nuclei or atoms having only a few core electrons, and the observation of magnetic moments. The investigation of these important areas is made possible by neutron diffraction. Thus this method has devel- oped into an important supplement to x-ray investigations. An ever-increasing de- mand is put on the method by research areas, old and new. Neutron diffraction has completely reformed the subject of solid-state magnetism; especially the area of chemical binding has received a new impetus by the union of x-ray and neutron dif- fraction. An exchange of different isotopes of the same element gives rise, as a rule, to a change in the strength of the neutron diffraction. Due to this effect itls possible, by means of deuteration, to make visible a single chain in a solid high polymer. Thus neutron small-angle scattering is important in protein research and for the biology of macromolecules. Of equal importance is the application of neu: ron diffraction in metallurgy. There already exist several excellent books which discuss the results obtained by neans of neutron diffraction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45283806118039,"sku":"9783642812385","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642812385.webp?v=1769305959","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/neutron-diffraction-9783642812385","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
