Book DescriptionThree-dimensional x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) microscopy is a novel experimental method for structural characterisation of polycrystalline materials The position, morphology, phase, strain and crystallographic orientation of hundreds of grains or sub-grain embedded within mm-cm thick specimens can be determined simultaneously ождюя Furthermore, the dynamics of the individual structural elements can be monitored during typical processes such as deformation or annealing The book gives a comprehensive account of the methodology followed by a summary of selected applications The method is presented from a mathematical/crystallographic point-of-view but with sufficient hands-on details to enable the reader to plan his or her own experiments Thescope of applications includes work in materials science and engineering, geophysics, geology, chemistry and pharmaceutical science.  Гелиантус2004 г 154 стр ISBN 3540223304.
