Zusatztext essential reading for any individual who is interested in using the Rietweld method in materials analysis Klappentext A powerful and relatively new method for extracting detailed crystal structural information from X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data! the Rietveld method attracts a great deal of interest from researchers in physics! chemistry! materials science! and crystallography. Now available in paperback! this book comprises chapters from international researchers on all aspects of this important technique. It will be of great interest to all researchers in the fields! as well as graduate students seeking a solid introduction and comprehensive survey. Zusammenfassung The Rietveld method is now widely recognized as uniquely valuable for structural analyses of nearly all classes of crystalline materials not available as single crystals. This book is the first graduate text to provide a comprehensive introduction to the technique, with contributors from internationally recognized authorities in the field. Inhaltsverzeichnis R.A.
