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 through three give essential theoretical background, while chapters four through seven guide the reader through practical aspects of extracting structural information from powder data. This text provides in-depth coverage of symmetry as well as a broad coverage of the kinematical theory off diffraction. Additionally, the powder diffraction technique is thoroughly introduced including preparation of specimens, selection of the goniometer optics, collection of powder diffraction data, and extraction of Bragg angles and intensities of Bragg peaks.
A little over five years have passed since the first edition of this book appeared in print. Seems like an instant but also eternity, especially considering numerous developments in the hardware and software that have made it from the laboratory test beds into the real world of powder diffraction. This prompted a revision, which had to be beyond cosmetic limits. The book was, and remains focused on standard laboratory powder diffractometry. It is still meant to be used as a text for teaching students about the capabilities and limitations of the powder diffraction method. We also hope that it goes beyond a simple text, and therefore, is useful as a reference to practitioners of the technique. The original book had seven long chapters that may have made its use as a text - convenient. So the second edition is broken down into 25 shorter chapters. The first fiffteen are concerned with the fundamentals of powder diffraction, which makes it much more logical, considering a typical 16-week long semester. The last ten ch- ters are concerned with practical examples of structure solution and re?nement, which were preserved from the first edition and expanded by another example - R solving the crystal structure of Tylenol .
