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 materials science. The book's middle chapters describe the instrumentation and procedures used in X-ray diffraction, including X-ray sources, X-ray detection, and production of monochromatic radiation. The chapter devoted to instrument design and calibration is followed by an examination of specimen preparation methods, data collection, and reduction. The final two chapters provide in-depth discussions of qualitative and quantitative analysis.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e While the material is presented in an orderly progression, beginning with basic concepts and moving on to more complex material, each chapter stands on its own and can be studied independently or used as a professional reference. More than 230 illustrations and tables demonstrate techniques and clarify complex material.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Self-contained, timely, and user-friendly, Introduction to X-ray Powder Diffractometry is an enormously useful text and professional reference for analytical chemists, physicists, geologists and materials scientists, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and analytical chemistry.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e X-ray powder diffraction-a technique that has matured significantly in recent years-is used to identify solid samples and determine their composition by analyzing the so-called \"fingerprints\" they generate when X-rayed. This unique volume fulfills two major roles: it is the first textbook devoted solely to X-ray powder diffractometry, and the first up-to-date treatment of the subject in 20 years.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This timely, authoritative volume features:\u003cbr\u003e * Clear, concise descriptions of both theory and practice-including fundamentals of diffraction theory and all aspects of the diffractometer\u003cbr\u003e * A treatment that reflects current trends toward automation, covering the newest instrumentation and automation techniques\u003cbr\u003e * Coverage of all the most common applications, with special emphasis on qualitative and quantitative analysis\u003cbr\u003e * An accessible presentation appropriate for both students and professionals\u003cbr\u003e * More than 230 tables and illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction to X-ray Powder Diffractometry, a collaboration between two internationally known and respected experts in the field, provides invaluable guidance to anyone using X-ray powder diffractometers and diffractometry in materials science, ceramics, the pharmaceutical industry, and elsewhere.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Chemistry [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Chemistry\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Chemistry%20%5BPN%5D%22\"\u003ePN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Interscience","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52293502042392,"sku":"9780471513391","price":136.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471513391.jpg?v=1781642713","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/introduction-to-x-ray-powder-diffractometry-hardback-9780471513391","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
