This book teaches the users on how to construct a library of
routines to simulate scattering and diffraction by almost any kind
of samples. The main goal of this book is to break down the huge
barrier of difficulties faced by beginners from many fields
(Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Material
Science, etc.) in using X-rays as an analytical tool in their
research. Besides fundamental concepts, MatLab routines are
provided, showing how to test and implement the concepts. The major
difficult in analysing materials by X-ray techniques is that it
strongly depends on simulation software. This book teaches the
users on how to construct a library of routines to simulate
scattering and diffraction by almost any kind of samples. It
provides to a young student the knowledge that would take more than
20 years to acquire by working on X-rays and relying on the
available textbooks. The scientific productivity worldwide is
growing at a breakneck pace, demanding ever more dynamic approaches
and synergies between different fields of knowledge. To master the
fundamentals of X-ray physics means the opportunity of working at
an infiniteness of fields, studying systems where the
organizational understanding of matter at the atomic scale is
necessary. Since the discovery of X radiation, its usage as
investigative tool has always been under fast expansion afforded by
instrumental advances and computational resources. Developments in
medical and technological fields have, as one of the master
girders, the feasibility of structural analysis offered by X-rays.
One of the major difficulties faced by beginners in using this
fantastic tool lies in the analysis of experimental data. There are
only few cases where it is possible to extract structural
information directly from experiments. In most cases, structure
models and simulation of radiation-matter interaction processes are
essential. The advent of intense radiation sources and rapid
development of nanotechnology constantly creates challenges that
seek solutions beyond those offered by standard X-ray techniques.
Preparing new researchers for this scenario of rapid and drastic
changes requires more than just teaching theories of physical
phenomena. It also requires teaching of how to implement them in a
simple and efficient manner. In this book, fundamental concepts in
applied X-ray physics are demonstrated through available computer
simulation tools. Using MatLab, more than eighty routines are
developed for solving the proposed exercises, most of which can be
directly used in experimental data analysis. Therefore, besides
X-ray physics, this book offers a practical programming course in
modern high-level language, with plenty of graphic and mathematical
tools.
