Neutron Applications in Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences offers a comprehensive overview of neutron scattering techniques that enhance the study of materials at the micro and nanoscale. Written in an organized three part structure, this volume offers introductions to various neutron applications from leading experts in the field. Readers will find a discussion on the use of neutron diffraction methods to study the mechanical behavior of geological materials, in addition to corresponding neutron imaging techniques. A section devoted to energy offers a description of ices and gas hydrates, proton dynamics of highly dispersed materials, hydrogen storage and the mobility of lithium ions in materials for energy applications. Environmental neutron techniques allow an in-depth analysis of molecular and cellular biology, microbial-mineral interactions in soil, and fluid dynamics in nanoporous regimes. Engineers, environmental scientists and researchers involved with materials science will find Neutron Applications in Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences a valuable reference.
