Elements of X-ray Diffraction

by B.D. Cullity

Intended to acquaint the reader with the theory of x-ray diffraction, the experimental methods involved, and the main applications. The book is a collection of principles and methods stressing X-ray diffraction rather than metallurgy. The book is written entirely in terms of the Bragg law and can be read without any knowledge of the reciprocal lattice. It is divided into three main parts—Fundamentals; experimental methods; and applications. Designed for beginners, not as a reference tool for the advanced reader.

this book is good to get knowledge about x-ray and about metal, in this book all information is given in detail.

The purpose of this book is to acquaint the reader who has no previous knowledge of the subject with the theory of x-ray diffraction, the experimental methods involved, and the main applications. Because the author is a metallurgist, the majority of this applications are described in terms of metals and alloys. However, little or no modification of experimental method is required for the examination of nonmetallic materials, inasmuch as the physical principles involved do not depend on the material investigated. This book should therefore be useful to metallurgists, chemists, physicists, ceramists, mineralogists, etc., namely, to all who use x-ray diffraction purely as a laboratory tool for the sort of problems as chemical analysis and stress measurement, to the study of phase equilibria and the measurement of particle size, to the determination of the orientation of one crystal or the ensemble of orientations in a polycrystalline aggregate.

Not as good as the second edition. Absolutely classic. Truthfully, didn't bother to read all of the experimental sections, but found the theoretical descriptions extremely clear and helpful. Also the second edition looks prettier with the foe leather binding.

This is one of the best books on x-ray diffraction. It's been also the reference for most other books.
I recommend it to: professors, students, scientists, and anyone interested in x-ray diffraction and crystallography.
