This book provides an account of the calculation of the matrix elements of the magnetic interaction operator, extracting important, useful results from mathematical analysis. The authors give a complete theory of nonrelativistic magnetic neutron scattering with various tables listing nj symbols, fractional parentage coefficients, and various other quantities that arise naturally in the theory. Subsequently, the book takes account of the growing interest in magnetic photon scattering realized by synchrotron photon factories and contains an appropriate theory. While the treatment centers on...

An invaluable, up-to-date reference aid for investigators and researchers, this two-volume work develops the principles and concepts of statistical physics and quantum chemistry that are the basis for the interpretation of experimental data. These volumes build on the author's now standard text, Theory of Neutron Scattering (OUP, 1971), and include expanded coverage of nuclear scattering, with many sections completely rewritten and updated, and many previously unpublished experimental calculations. With a greatly expanded bibliography including 200 new references, this work will interest...

The Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on Condensed Matter Re search Using Neutrons, Today and Tomorrow was held in Abingdon, Oxfordshire for four days beginning 26 March 1984. The Workshop was sponsored by NATO and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. A total of 32 lecturers and participants attended. An objective of the Workshop was to review some dynamic proper ties of condensed matter that can be studied using neutron spectros copy. A second objective, no less important, was to identify new topics that might be investigated with advanced spallation neutron sources. The twelve lectures...

Application of quantum mechanics in physics and chemistry often entails manipulation and evaluation of sums and products of coupling coefficients for the theory of angular momentum. Challenges encountered in such work can be tamed by graphical techniques that provide both the insight and analytical power. The book is the first step-by-step exposition of a graphical method grounded in established work. Copious exercises recover standard results but demonstrate the power to go beyond.
