Abstract

We review the current state of the field of neutron scattering as applied to studies of mineral behaviour. Neutron scat- tering is a particularly versatile tool because it is able to measure both structure (diffraction) and dynamics (spectroscopy) of mate- rials at an atomic level, and because it is able to measure both coherent and incoherent scattering processes. As a result, there is a wide range of phenomena that can be studied using neutron scattering. The versatility of the tool is shown to arise within a gen- eral theoretical framework. Applications of neutron scattering in the Earth and Mineral Sciences are described.
