Neutrons, X Rays and Light: Scattering Methods Applied to Soft - Condensed Matte

Zusammenfassung Scattering experiments, using X-ray, light and neutron sources, are techniques for studying structure and dynamics in systems containing colloids, polymers, surfactants and biological macromolecules. This book presents information on data interpretation, on the complementarity of different types of radiation, and the applications and developments.
