Zusatztext '? this is a theoretical book! welcome on the shelves of experimenters of thermal neutron scattering! and physics! chemistry and material science libraries in universities and research institutes.' Hagai Shaked! Acta Crystallographic Informationen zum Autor Gordon L. Squires (1924–2010) was a Lecturer in Physics at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge from 1956. He published two other books with Cambridge University Press: Practical Physics and Problems in Quantum Mechanics with Solutions, wrote an article on quantum mechanics for the Encyclopaedia Britannica and contributed extensively to leading scientific journals. From his retirement in 1991 until his death in 2010, Dr Squires was the curator of the Cavendish Laboratory Museum and wrote a number of historical articles on scientists and scientific discoveries in Cambridge. Klappentext A long-awaited reprint of the book that has established itself as the classic textbook on neutron scattering. Zusammenfassung A long-awaited reprint of the book that has established itself as the classic textbook on neutron scattering.
