Nuclear scattering, basic principles

Basic Principles in Nuclear Scattering. The basic principles of RBS and ERD could be briefly described using the schematic shown in Figure 1. The incident ion (Zi), of mass Ml, and energy E<> penetrates...

This chapter describes the basic principle, recent developments, and selected applications of some commonly used experimental techniques (i.e., optical microscopy, electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, diffraction and scattering (X-ray, neutron, and light), and differential scanning calorimetry) for characterization of semicrystalline polymers. Many excellent reviews for each technique and their usage exist, and the listed references only represent the exem-...
