DESCRIPTION:
The book is written entirely in terms of the Bragg law and can be read without any knowledge of the reciprocal lattice. Designed for beginners, not as a reference tool for the advanced reader.. Intended to acquaint the reader with the theory of x-ray diffraction, the experimental methods involved, and the main applications. The book is a collection of principles and methods stressing X-ray diffraction rather than metallurgy. It is divided into three main parts—Fundamentals; experimental methods; and applications
Chang L. said Five Stars. good. "2nd Edition Review" according to B. Nartowt. Well, firstly I must say that this book could do with a great deal more mathematical rigour. Units are missing in areas that are somewhat critical. However, given the subject matter (x-ray diffraction (XRD) is not overly mathematical), you surely won't be stuck for hours. I am a pretty mathematical person, and if I edited this book, it would probably be one of the best.On the plus side: this book has some aweso. Alberto De Miranda said Great book!. It sure is a no issue easy to use reference book, it has made a great addition to the library! A must have for those interested in X-ray theory and technology
I am also very grateful to the numerous students from the diffraction classes I have taught and to my own research students, undergraduate, Masters and PhD; it would be hard to find a better bunch anywhere. This revision took a long time to be completed, and I am grateful to the various editors who helped it along: Dan Jorananstad, Rob Merino, Laura Curless and especially Michael Slaughter and Scott Disanno, and also their staffs. Finally, materials engineers n6ed some familiarity with transmission electron microscopy, and a couple of weeks, building on reciprocal lattice concepts developed earlier, at the end of a semester course on x-ray diffraction and crystal structure may be all that can be spared.
