Surface X-Ray and Neutron Scattering

This volume, encapsulating the findings of an international physics conference, covers condensed matter and materials science research in terms of surface X-ray and neutron scattering, an expanding and sophisticated technique due to the availability of synchrotron sources.

---

Owing to the increased availability of synchrotron sources, surface X-ray scattering is a rapidly expanding technique with important applications for surface structures and surface phase transitions, the roughening of surfaces and interfaces, and the structure of liquid surfaces, including polymers, liquid crystals and organic films. Surface studies with neutrons, on the other hand, provide important information on liquid and magnetic films. The contributions to this volume, written by active researchers in the field, provide an update to these highly sophisticated techniques and their application. The material in the book is based on the findings of an international conference on the subject.
