X-ray powder diffraction is a technique used to fingerprint solid samples, which are then identified and cataloged for future use-much the way the FBI keeps fingerprints on file. The current database of some 70,000 material prints has been put to a broad range of uses, from the analysis of moon rocks to testing drugs for purity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction to X-ray Powder Diffractometry fully updates the achievements in the field over the past fifteen years and provides a much-needed explanation of the state-of-the-art techniques involved in characterizing materials. It covers the latest instruments and methods, with an emphasis on the fundamentals of the diffractometer, its components, alignment, calibration, and automation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The first three chapters outline diffraction theory in clear language, accessible to both students and professionals in chemistry, physics, geology, and ma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharacteristics of X-Radiation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Crystalline State.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Diffraction Theory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sources for the Generation of X-Radiation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Detectors and Detection Electronics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Production of Monochromatic Radiation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Instruments for the Measurement of Powder Patterns.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Alignment and Maintenance of Powder Diffractometers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Specimen Preparation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Acquisition of Diffraction Data.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Reduction of Data from Automated Powder Diffractometers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Qualitative Analysis.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Quantitative Analysis.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53515429249367,"sku":"9780471513391","price":151.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/introduction-to-xray-powder-diffractometry-9780471513391","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
