Items related to Diffuse Scattering of X-Rays and Neutrons by Fluctuations
Synopsis
This is the second volume of a two-volume text on the scattering of x-rays and thermal neutrons from non-ideal (real) crystals. It deals with equilibrium fluctuations in the various order parameters of a crystal including concentration, positional, and orientational fluctuations, considering also the variety of interactions responsible for the observed (diffuse) scattering patterns. Both theoretical and experimental situations are treated and a wide range of solids, including metals, alloys, semiconductors, and insulators are covered. As we come increasingly to appreciate the importance of disorder in solids, this book will become an indispensable guide to the study of disordered crystals.

From the Back Cover
In this second volume of his two-volume text on the scattering of x-rays and thermal neutrons from non-ideal (real) crystals, the late Professor M.A. Krivoglaz considers in great detail the general topic of fluctuations in solids and their elucidation through scattering experiments. While Vol. 1 concentrated on defects and imperfections - and introduced a good deal of general formalism - the present volume deals more with equilibrium fluctuations in the various order parameters of a crystal, including concentration, positional, and orientational fluctuations, as well as considering the variety of interactions responsible for the observed (diffuse) scattering patterns. Both theoretical and experimental situations are treated and a wide range of solids, including metals, alloys, semiconductors, and insulators are covered. As in Vol. 1, the experimentalist is certain to find one or another aspect of the fluctuation spectrum for his particular sample treated with the detailed care and insight for which M.A. Krivoglaz is renowned. As we come increasingly to appreciate the importance of disorder in solids, this book will become an indispensible guide to the study of disordered crystals.
