Powder diffraction is a widely used scientific technique in the
characterization of materials with broad application in materials
science, chemistry, physics, geology, pharmacology and archaeology.
Powder Diffraction: Theory and Practice provides an advanced
introductory text about modern methods and applications of powder
diffraction in research and industry. The authors begin with a
brief overview of the basic theory of diffraction from crystals and
powders. Data collection strategies are described including x-ray,
neutron and electron diffraction setups using modern day apparatus
including synchrotron sources. Data corrections, essential for
quantitative analysis are covered before the authors conclude with
a discussion of the analysis methods themselves. The information is
presented in a way that facilitates understanding the information
content of the data, as well as best practices for collecting and
analyzing data for quantitative analysis. This long awaited book
condenses the knowledge of renowned experts in the field into a
single, authoritative, overview of the application of powder
diffraction in modern materials research. The book contains
essential theory and introductory material for students and
researchers wishing to learn how to apply the frontier methods of
powder diffraction
