X-Ray Diffraction by Polycrystalline Materials - Guinebretiere, Rene (Ecole Nationale Superieure de Ceramiques Industrielles in Limoges, France)

This 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.
