classical mechanics courses. Classical Mechanics enables students to make
connections between classical and modern physics “ an indispensable part
of a physicist’s education. The authors have updated the topics, applications,
and notations to reflect today’s physics curriculum. They introduce students

About the Book

This revision of a classical text is intended to acquaint the reader, who has
no prior knowledge of the subject, with the theory of x-ray diffraction, the
experimental methods involved, and the main applications. The text is a
collection of principles and methods designed directly for the student and
not a reference tool for the advanced reader

Features
• No metallurgical data are given beyond that necessary to
illustrate the diffraction methods involved.
• X-ray diffraction is stressed rather than metallurgy.
• The book is divided into three main parts—Fundamentals;
experimental methods; and applications.
• The subject of crystal structure is approached through, and,
based on, the concept of the point lattice (Bravais lattice),
because the point lattice of a substance is so closely related to its
diffraction pattern.
