Elastic and inelastic scattering of neutrons from nuclei can be used to study unique aspects about the nuclear structure of the ground states and transitions to excited states. The strengths of (n,p) Gamow-Teller type transitions in nuclei with N>Z are particularly sensitive to correlations in the ground-state wave functions. The relationship between (n,p) and (p,n) Gamow-Teller reactions and their relevance to the problem of double beta decay will be discussed. Combined analysis of (n,n') and (p,p') reactions to the low-lying 2/sup +/ states can be used to separate the isoscalar and isovector components of the transitions. Recent experimental results for nuclei in the sd shell will be compared to the latest theoretical calculations.
