Probing the Structure of Liquids
- Synopsis
- Introduces the concept of radial distribution as a way of describing the ordering of the atoms or molecules in a liquid. Shows how the function can be determined in practice by X-ray scattering and neutron beam scattering. The advantages of the use of neutron beams over X-rays are discussed. The production of neutrons in a nuclear reactor is described and brief reference is made to their detection after scattering. Discusses a new source of material recently developed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, the pulsed spallation source.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
