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.

The reader learns to apply neutron and x-ray scattering and Monte Carlo Simulation to problems in materials science, especially disordered alloys. This review is interesting for researchers working in the field of materials science.
