European Powder Diffraction Epdic 7

This is a two-volume set containing the proceedings of the May 2000 conference on European powder diffraction, a non-destructive technique widely applied for the characterization of crystalline materials. Part 1 (54 contributions) covers method development (deconvolution and pattern decomposition, determination of crystal structure and lattice constants, qualitative and quantitative phase analysis, analysis of microstructure and macrostress, and texture and coarse grains); instrumental development and measurement techniques; and synchrotron power, neutron powder, and in-situ (time-resolved) powder diffraction diffraction. Part 2 (80 contributions) addresses the results of applications of various methods to specific classes of materials. such as thin layers, polymers and amorphous materials, metals and alloys, minerals and inorganics, and organic materials.

The method has been traditionally used for phase identification, quantitative analysis and the determination of structure imperfections. In recent years, applications have been extended to new areas, such as the determination of crystal structures and the extraction of three-dimensional microstructural properties.

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

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). X-ray powder diffraction is a long-established and invaluable technique which is widely applied to the characterization of crystalline materials. The method has traditionally been used for phase identification, quantitative analysis and for the determination of structural imperfections. In recent years however, its use has been extended into exciting new areas such as the extraction of three-dimensional microstructural properties.

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The proceedings of the 6th European Conference on Powder iffraction cover 191 papers in the areas of X-ray and neutron diffraction (36 papers). Chapters on Method Development, Development of Instruments and Techniques, Software, Synchrotron and Neutron Diffraction offer new ideas on subjects as Microstructure of Materials, Determination of Crystallographic Structure, Quantitative Phase Analysis, and Texture & Coarse Grains. Developments in analysis using the X-ray lens –a bundle of glass capillaries- and single or double X-ray mirrors continue.

This comprehensive publication presents most recent results, and covers practically all aspects of powder diffraction.
