Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Strongly Correlated Electron Systems

The inelastic neutron scattering technique with its unparalleled energy and momentum coverage suits best for investigations of the dynamics of various kinds of materials. Moreover, that neutrons have no charge and so penetrate deep into the sample allows one to probe the bulk properties without undesirable effects due to the surface, which often pauses problems to other techniques. Over the last two decades or so, the inelastic neutron scattering has produced some very important results in the research area of strongly correlated electron systems such as heavy fermion and high temperature superconductors to name only a few. Information gleaned from such inelastic neutron scattering experiments is very crucial for further microscopic understanding of a given system. In this paper, we will give a few examples where we used the inelastic neutron scattering technique to examine the dynamical susceptibility
