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.
