Preface

Neutron scattering has grown from being a physics and chemistry centred technique in which lattice dynamics and crystallography were the mainstays, to a more interdisciplinary field which includes areas as diverse as engineering, archaeology, food, plastics and all manner of nanostructured materials. The study
