This book was released on 2005-12-05 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Powder Diffraction and Structural Characterization of Materials provides an in-depth introduction to the theories and applications of the powder diffraction method for structure determination. The emphasis is placed on powder diffraction data collected using conventional x-ray sources, which remain primary tools for thousands of researchers and students in their daily experimental work. The book is divided into two parts: chapters one though three give essential theoretical background, while chapters four through seven guide the reader through practical aspects of extracting structural information from powder data. In addition color electronic versions of some 300 illustrations found throughout the book will be included.
