Disordered Alloys: Diffuse Scattering and Monte Carlo Simulations

Werner Schweika9783540634454, 3540634452

The book reviews structural disorder in alloys and shows how detailed information can be found by applying thermal neutron and / or x-ray scattering. Interactions among atoms of the alloy are modeled by Monte Carlo methods thus achieving a picture of the electronic structure of the system. Precision Monte Carlo Simulations are also used for testing existing theories of wetting.
