  Aiming elementary particles at surfaces and observing the result in order to glean information on the material is an old discipline: spectroscopy using photons has been performed for more than a century. But recently, a number of much more exotic, subatomic particles out of cyclotrons have become available for alternative ways of probing condensed matter in order to better understand its properties and to correlate behaviour with structure. In particular, the use of several different types of particles such as x-rays, neutrons and muons yields rich information. This book gives a practical account of how they complement each other for materials characterization. [XIV, 234 Pages, Softcover]
