Principles of Neutron Scattering from Condensed Matter. By Andrew T. Boothroyd. Oxford University Press, 2020. Pp. 512. Price GBP 55.00. ISBN 9780198862314.

Neutron scattering user facilities are increasingly used by ‘non-expert’ users, opening neutron scattering to new science fields and greatly increasing the scientific impact of these facilities. This book aims to bring the needed introduction to the expanding area of neutron scattering techniques to this wider audience of scientists using neutron scattering as part of their experimental portfolio. In my opinion, it completely succeeds in that goal and provides the right balance of introduction and in-depth discussion. I also like the layout of the book, with some figures and notes in the margin making it easy to read and navigate. As a ‘long-time’ neutron scatterer, I am excited to add this book to my book shelf.

Crystal Growth for Beginners. Fundamentals of Nucleation, Crystal Growth and Epitaxy , 3rd edition . Edited by Ivan V Markov. World Scientific, 2017. Pp. 632. Hardback. Price GBP 123.00. ISBN 978-981-3143-42-5

Crystal growth is a classical discipline lying at the interfaces of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Medicine. The research field has enjoyed an increasing number of young investigators over the past couple of decades, largely due to the burgeoning fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology which aim to fabricate nano-devices and/or to deliver nano-medicines in a process that mimics the exquisite wisdom of biologically controlled crystals. The interdisciplinary nature of these fields has posed a request for introductory monographs on the fundamental concepts of crystallization that are suitable for the diverse scientific backgrounds of researchers new to the field. Among many of the introductory crystal growth books, the Crystal Growth for Beginners (3rd edition) by Ivan Markov is an excellent one that can serve the purpose and is worth reading.

Optimizing Storage Operation for a Probabilistic Locational Marginal Pricing Forecast: Preprint

This paper explores the applicability of using dynamic programing (DP) and approximate dynamic programming (ADP) based methods for optimal dispatch of utility scale energy storage systems (ESS). In this study, the effectiveness of these approaches have been tested using the IEEE 13 node test feeder with distributed photovoltaics (PVs) and a utility scale storage system. In this work, a co-simulation based approach has been used to setup the experiment to be able to implement detailed ESS and network models. The results obtained from DP/ADP runs have been compared with three other control strategies both myopic and intelligent. Simulations results show that DP/ADP algorithms are a good candidate for optimal EES dispatch in terms of both solution quality and execution time.
