An invaluable, up-to-date reference aid for investigators and researchers, this two-volume work develops the principles and concepts of statistical physics and quantum chemistry that are the basis for the interpretation of experimental data. These volumes build on the author's now standard text, Theory of Neutron Scattering (OUP, 1971), and include expanded coverage of nuclear scattering, with many sections completely rewritten and updated, and many previously unpublished experimental calculations. With a greatly expanded bibliography including 200 new references, this work will interest graduate students and researchers in physics.
