Protons And Muons In Materials Science

A collection of 30 papers on the topic of muon implantation - an experimental technique to investigate the properties of solids. The papers cover both the theoretical and experimental aspects of the subject.

The use of positive muons to simulate protons in solids is a relatively new, but already successful field of research, which exploits the unique properties of the muon. This book is a collection of papers for special issues of the Philosophical Magazine Part B and the Philosophical Magazine Transactions A, together with previously unreleased material presented at a seminar on the subject. The 30 papers here are written by an international team of experts who effectively cover both the theoretical and experimental aspects of the subject.
