Phonons, RUS, and Neutron Scattering

Abstract

Simple but very precise acoustical probes such as RUS can be combined with very sophisticated but less accurate probes such as inelastic neutron scattering and diffuse neutron scattering to provide a powerful picture of the vibrational spectrum of a solid. Such a picture can be used to extract information about fine-scale microstructure, phase transformations and more. We describe here recent work applicable to martensites and Pu.
