This manual pertains to "An Introduction to the Theory of Diffraction" by C. J. Ball, edited by G. E. Bacon, and published by Pergamon. It is part of The Commonwealth and International Library: Materials Science and Technology series. This educational resource, released on October 8, 2013, is intended for metallurgists and serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding diffraction theory. The book delves into the fundamental principles of wave motion and its interaction with various forms of radiation and matter.
The manual is structured into seven chapters, covering essential topics such as atomic scattering factors, the principle of superposition, Fourier analysis in diffraction, and the reciprocal lattice. It also addresses practical considerations like absorption in different specimen shapes. This resource is designed to provide a thorough understanding of diffraction phenomena, making it an invaluable tool for students and professionals in materials science and related fields.
An Introduction to the Theory of Diffraction presents the fundamentals of diffraction theory. This book discusses other topics, such as absorption in cylindrical or slab-shaped specimens, which do not closely involve the fundamentals of diffraction.
Organized into seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of the fundamentals of wave motion and a short account of the interaction of atoms with X-ray, electrons, and neutrons. This text then examines the differences between atomic scattering factors for the various radiations. Other chapters consider a number of problems in which the distribution of scattering sources is either one-dimensional in nature or can be reduced to one dimension. This book discusses as well the principle of superposition, which ensures that Fourier analysis has an application to diffraction theory. The final chapter deals with the importance of reciprocal lattice on the relation it bears to the crystal lattice.
This book is a valuable resource for metallurgists.
