One of the first books to gather recent methods that allow neutron scattering well beyond 10 GPa, this text shows how high pressure neutron scattering can be used to study the structure and dynamics of a wide range of materials. It describes various solutions spanning two to three orders of magnitude in pressure that have emerged in the past three decades. Many engineering concepts are illustrated through examples of real high pressure devices that have demonstrated their capacity and have produced scientific results.
