Electron scattering : from atoms, molecules, nuclei, and bulk matter ; [result of a meeting, which took place in Magdalene College Cambridge in December 2001

Topics that are covered include electron scattering in the scanning TEM; basic theory of inelastic electron imaging; study of confined atoms by electron excitation; helium bubbles created in extreme pressure with application to nuclear safety; lithium ion implantation; electron and positron scattering from clusters; electron scattering from physi- and chemi-absorbed molecules on surfaces; coincidence studies; electron scattering from biological molecules; electron spectroscopy as a tool for environmental science; electron scattering in the presence of intense fields; electron scattering from astrophysical molecules; electon interatctions an detection of x-ray radiation. Electron Scattering Is Concerned With The Interaction Of Electrons With Matter In All Its Forms, Both In The Way These Interactions Can Be Used As Probes And The Crucial Role They Play In A Wide Range Of Natural Processes. This Book Has A Decidedly Interdisciplinary Character With Contributions From Theoretical And Experimental Atomic And Nuclear Physicists, Experts In Solid State And Surface Studies, Theoretical Chemists And Those Who Work In Environmental And Biological Science.--jacket.
