Methods Of Structural Analysis Of Modulated Structures And Quasicrystals
Author: Perez-mato J M
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814556068
Category : Crystals
Languages : en
Pages : 696
Book Description
By introducing the superspace formalism, the methods of structure analysis of incommensurate structures have achieved in the past few years a full maturity. The superspace description is also becoming in the field of quasicrystals the main tool to approach a systematic method of structure determination of these materials. According to the program of the Workshop, these proceedings are an introduction to the formalism and practice of structure determination of modulated structures (incommensurate and commensurate) and quasiperiodic systems, mainly under the unifying framework of the superspace description. Accordingly, a large set of tutorial introductory chapters written by well-known specialists are included. The main refinement programs available for incommensurate structures are presented by their authors. The book also contains the most recent contributions from more than thirty of the participants in the Workshop, focusing on the problem of the structure analysis of these typical materials by means of diffraction methods.

Book Description
Electronic Structure Crystallography and Functional Motifs of Materials Detailed resource on the method of electronic structure crystallography for revealing the experimental electronic structure and structure-property relationships of functional materials Electronic Structure Crystallography and Functional Motifs of Materials describes electronic structure crystallography and functional motifs of materials, two of the most challenging topics to realize the rational design of high-performance functional materials, emphasizing the physical properties and structure-property relationships of functional materials using nonlinear optical materials as examples. The text clearly illustrates how to extract experimental electronic structure information and relevant physicochemical properties of materials based on the theories and methods in X-ray crystallography and quantum chemistry. Practical skills of charge density studies using experimental X-ray sources are also covered, which are particularly important for the future popularization and development of electron structure crystallography.

Advances in the Crystallographic and Microstructural Analysis of Charge Density Wave Modulated Crystals
Author: F.W. Boswell
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401146039
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Modulated crystals have been intensively investigated over the past several years and it is now evident that an understanding of their crystallography and microstructure is fundamental to the elucidation of the physical properties and phase transitions in these materials. This book brings together for the first time the crystallographic descriptions and experimental methods for the structural and microstructural analysis of modulated crystals as described by well-known researchers in the various areas. The emphasis is on charge density wave modulations, and the detailed analysis of the prototypical NbTe4/TaTe4 system gives practical applications of the methods. Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy is a new technique providing significant new insights into atomic scale details of the modulations' structures and a chapter on this method is included.

X-ray Characterization of Materials
Author: Eric Lifshin
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527613757
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Linking of materials properties with microstructures is a fundamental theme in materials science, for which a detailed knowledge of the modern characterization techniques is essential. Since modern materials such as high-temperature alloys, engineering thermoplastics and multilayer semiconductor films have many elemental constituents distributed in more than one phase, characterization is essential to the systematic development of such new materials and understanding how they behave in practical applications. X-ray techniques play a major role in providing information on the elemental composition and crystal and grain structures of all types of materials. The challenge to the materials characterization expert is to understand how specific instruments and analytical techniques can provide detailed information about what makes each material unique. The challenge to the materials scientist, chemist, or engineer is to know what information is needed to fully characterize each material and how to use this information to explain its behavior, develop new and improved properties, reduce costs, or ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. This comprehensive handbook presents all the necessary background to understand the applications of X-ray analysis to materials characterization with particular attention to the modern approach to these methods.
