Crystallography Books
Taylor & Francis Ltd Deformation and Evolution of Life in Crystalline
Book SynopsisThis book walks you through the fundamental deformation and damage mechanisms. It lends the reader the key to open the doors into the maze of deformation/fracture phenomena under various loading conditions. Furthermore it provides the solution method to material engineering design and analysis problems, for those working in the aerospace, automotive or energy industries. The book introduces the integrated creep-fatigue theory (ICFT) that considers holistic damage evolution from surface/subsurface crack nucleation to propagation in coalescence with internally-distributed damage/discontinuities.

Cambridge University Press An Introduction to Metamorphic Petrology
Book SynopsisA new edition of a classic text which introduces metamorphic rocks and how they form, now thoroughly updated and featuring new colour illustrations and numerous exercises. This textbook provides the basis for an undergraduate course or for more advanced self-study and research.Trade Review'If you want to teach or learn about metamorphic petrology, I would go no further than Yardley and Warren's An Introduction to Metamorphic Petrology. Its rigorous foundation for the study of metamorphic rocks delivers on the three most important 'C's - concise, clear and comprehensive. Virtually everything I have wanted to teach my students about metamorphic rocks is here, from basic mineralogical principles to chemographics, thermodynamics and tectonic applications, while the illustrations and end-chapter exercises bring home the concepts. I'm excited to improve the education of my students with this text!' Matthew Kohn, Boise State University'This gem of a book is exclusively devoted to explaining metamorphic petrology, and contains abundant examples, illustrations and photographs to guide the reader through understanding the world of metamorphic rocks. The style of writing is very accessible, and the authors convey complex scientific concepts in an approachable way.' Sarah Penniston-Dorland, University of Maryland'Yardley and Warren have succeeded with the impressive feat of transforming 'the classic Yardley' into a state-of-the-art metamorphic petrology textbook without losing the core concepts of the first edition. This new edition benefits from numerous thin section photomicrographs, three completely new chapters and a more didactic layout that includes end-of-chapter summaries and questions.' Thomas Zack, University of Gothenburg'A key addition to this book, and one that I'm sure teachers and lecturers will appreciate and utilise, is a set of exercises at the end of each chapter. The illustrations are well chosen and well crafted (and include some beautiful photographs); this is an important component of the book, as these illustrations are critical for conveying complex processes. Overall, the authors have done a tremendous job in crafting a classic, into what I predict will also become an as popular and well-revered textbook.' Nick M. W.

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Combined Analysis
Book SynopsisThis book introduces and details the key facets of Combined Analysis—an x-ray and/or neutron scattering methodology which combines structural, textural, stress, microstructural, phase, layer, or other relevant variable or property analyses in a single approach. The author starts with basic theories related to diffraction by polycrystals and some of the most common combined analysis instrumental set-ups are detailed. Powder diffraction data treatment is introduced and in particular, the Rietveld analysis is discussed. The book also addresses automatic phase indexing—a necessary step to solve a structure ab initio. Since its effect prevails on real samples where textures are often stabilized, quantitative texture analysis is also detailed. Also discussed are microstructures of powder diffraction profiles; quantitative phase analysis from the Rietveld analysis; residual stress analysis for isotropic and anisotropic materials; specular x-ray reflectivity, and the various associated models. Finally, the book introduces the combined analysis concept, showing how it is superior to the view presented when we look at only one part of the analyses. This book shows that the existence of texture in a specimen can be envisaged as a way to decouple ordinarily strongly correlated parameters, as measured for instance in powder diagrams, and to examine and detail deeper material characterizations in a single methodology.Table of ContentsIntroduction xiii Acknowledgements xvii Chapter 1.

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc X-Ray Diffraction by Polycrystalline Materials
Book SynopsisThis book presents a physical approach to the diffraction phenomenon and its applications in materials science. An historical background to the discovery of X-ray diffraction is first outlined. Next, Part 1 gives a description of the physical phenomenon of X-ray diffraction on perfect and imperfect crystals. Part 2 then provides a detailed analysis of the instruments used for the characterization of powdered materials or thin films. The description of the processing of measured signals and their results is also covered, as are recent developments relating to quantitative microstructural analysis of powders or epitaxial thin films on the basis of X-ray diffraction. Given the comprehensive coverage offered by this title, anyone involved in the field of X-ray diffraction and its applications will find this of great use.Table of ContentsPreface xi Acknowledgements xv An Historical Introduction: The Discovery of X-rays and the First Studies in X-ray Diffraction xvii Part 1.
