Diffuse X-Ray Scattering and Models of Disorder (International Union of Crystallography Monographs on Crystallography)
Diffuse X-Ray Scattering and Models of Disorder - International Union of Crystallography Monographs on Crystallography Author:T. R. Welberry Diffuse X-ray scattering is a rich (virtually untapped) source of local structural information over and above that obtained by conventional crystallography. The book aims to show how computer simulation of a model crystal provides a general method by which diffuse scattering of all kinds and from all types of materials can be interpreted and an... more »alyzed. Part I of the book gives a description of the experimental methods used to obtain diffuse scattering data. Part II describes a number of simple stochastic models of disorder, which allows various concepts to be established and enables simple examples to be generated to illustrate key principles. Part III describes example studies of a wide variety of real materials. These examples not only document the development of computer simulation methods for investigating and analyzing disorder problems but also provide a resource for helping future researchers recognize the kinds of effects which can occur and for pointing the way to tackling new problems which are encountered.« less
