ON THE COVER: New Frontiers in the Application of Neutron Scattering to Materials Research. (upper left) Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) raw data for the shear-induced transition from an isotropic solution to a hexagonal mesophase in an entangled wormlike micellar solution near a quartz surface. Left to right: t ¾ 0, t ~ 5 s, and t ~ 30 min (see p. 907). (right) Off-specular scattering maps collected from an Fe/Cr superlattice. The fitted map on the right beautifully reproduces all of the features seen in the measured data at left, allowing the authors to determine a great deal of information about the magnetic domains and the evolution of the vector magnetization from layer to layer. (Courtesy of Lauter-Pasyuk et al.; see p. 918.) (bottom center) A spin echo spectrometer allows neutron scattering to measure very slow motions in materials; this technique has been widely applied to polymer dynamics (courtesy of Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany). See the technical theme that begins on p. 903.
