Powder diffraction is a widely used scientific technique in the
characterization of materials with broad application in materials
science, chemistry, physics, geology, pharmacology and archaeology.
Powder Diffraction: Theory and Practice provides an advanced
introductory text about modern methods and applications of powder
diffraction in research and industry. The authors begin with a
brief overview of the basic theory of diffraction from crystals and
powders. Data collection strategies are described including x-ray,
neutron and electron diffraction setups using modern day apparatus
including synchrotron sources. Data corrections, essential for
quantitative analysis are covered before the authors conclude with
a discussion of the analysis methods themselves. The information is
presented in a way that facilitates understanding the information
content of the data, as well as best practices for collecting and
analyzing data for quantitative analysis. This long awaited book
condenses the knowledge of renowned experts in the field into a
single, authoritative, overview of the application of powder
diffraction in modern materials research. The book contains
essential theory and introductory material for students and
researchers wishing to learn how to apply the frontier methods of
powder diffraction
This series of books, which is published at the rate of about one
per year, addresses fundamental problems in materials science. The
contents cover a broad range of topics from small clusters of atoms
to engineering materials and involve chemistry, physics, materials
science, and engineering, with length scales ranging from Angstroms
up to millimeters. The emphasis is on basic science rather than on
applications. Each book focuses on a single area of current
interest and brings together leading experts to give an up-to-date
discussion of their work and the work of others. Each article
contains enough references that the interested reader can access
the relevant literature. Thanks are given to the Center for
Fundamental Materials Research at Michigan State University for
supporting this series. M.F. Thorpe, Series Editor E-mail:

The study of the atomic structure of crystalline materials began at
the beginning of the twentieth century with the discovery by Max
von Laue and by W.H. and W.L. Bragg that crystals diffract x-rays.
At that time, even the existence of atoms was controversial.

pa.msu.edu East Lansing, Michigan PREFACE One of the most
challenging problems in the study of structure is to characterize
the atomic short-range order in materials. Long-range order can be
determined with a high degree of accuracy by analyzing Bragg peak
positions and intensities in data from single crystals or powders.
However, information about short-range order is contained in the
diffuse scattering intensity. This is difficult to analyze because
it is low in absolute intensity (though the integrated intensity
may be significant) and widely spread in reciprocal space."
