Overview
In this, the only book available to combine both theoretical and practical aspects of x-ray diffraction, the authors emphasize a "hands on" approach through experiments and examples based on actual laboratory data.
Part I presents the basics of x-ray diffraction and explains its use in obtaining structural and chemical information.
In Part II, eight experimental modules enable the students to gain an appreciation for what information can be obtained by x-ray diffraction and how to interpret it.
Examples from all classes of materials — metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and polymers — are included. Diffraction patterns and Bragg angles are provided for students without diffractometers. 192 illustrations.

Booknews
Explores a range of diffraction techniques in the field of materials characterization used to obtain information on an atomic scale from both crystalline and noncrystalline (amorphous) materials. The analysis of and extraction of information from diffraction patterns are stressed over theoretical considerations. After an introductory section on such basics as types of material structure and experimental considerations, eight experimental modules from categories of materials such as metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and polymers are presented, each with worked examples and suggested exercises.
