Neutron Diffraction from Novel Materials

摘要

The discovery and development of new materials is the foundation of the science and technology "food chains." Examples of new materials with novel Properties that have stimulated new sci- Entific questions and/or led to new tech- Nologies include liquid crystals, advanced Batteries, structural ceramics, dielectrics, Feerroelectrics, catalysts, high-temperature Superconductors, hard magnets, and Magnetoresistive devices, Establishing The crystal structure of a newly discov- Ered compound is a mandatory first step, But the most important contribution of Diffraction techniques is to provide an Understanding of the relationships among Chemical composition, crystal structure, And physical behavior.
