5.0 out of 5 stars
Contemporary book on X-ray scattering,
By Canay (Hillsboro, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elements of Modern X-ray Physics (Paperback)
Before this book came out, the bible of the scientists in the field was either Guinier's or else, Warren's book on X-ray diffraction (both books by Dover). I think Jens Als-Nielsen's book will replace these as far as introduction to the field is concerned, because the other two books (especially warren's black book) are pages of equation after equation. Elements of Modern X-ray Physics, in contrast, is much more readable (it has colors even... wohooo). Also it covers recent techniques suxh as scattering from liquid interfaces that were not covered in previous books. Trade-off is that the book does not cover any crystallography. Author's say in the preface that they feel there are other adequate books on this subject (guinier's book prevails). Interesting note: Book is written not with conventional text editors but with some type of Tex/LaTex. |
