Lattice vibrations, i.e., phonons are ubiquitous in solids and getting detailed knowledge on them was one of the success stories of early inelastic neutron scattering. Nowadays, large neutron detectors along with ab-initio lattice dynamical calculations allow comprehensive experimental and theoretical mapping of phonon properties. However, calculations of lattice dynamics at or close to...
The structures of materials under study are of ever-increasing complexity, now often exhibiting short-range order, nano-structure, or correlated disorder that affect their physical and/or functional properties. In order to quantify this increasing structural complexity, a maximal amount of information needs to be extracted from e.g. neutron diffraction patterns, whence the importance of...
