Neutron Scattering in Magnetism: Fundamentals and Examples

In this chapter, an up-to-date survey of theoretical concepts and experimental results in the field of the neutron scattering techniques applied to magnetism, and their relevance to experiments in real materials, is presented. Main emphasis of the chapter is to enlarge the use of these techniques among the researchers (physicist, chemists, engineers, etc.) in the area of magnetism and magnetic materials. For that reason we do not enter deeply in topics as neutron production, neutron optics, detectors, instrumentation, etc., but we focused the chapter on the neutron scattering applications in such a field.
