X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

X-ray diffraction is a useful and powerful analysis technique for characterizing crystalline materials commonly employed in MSE physics and chemistry. This informative new book describes the principles of X-ray diffraction and its applications to materials characterization. It consists of three parts. The first deals with elementary crystallography and optics which is essential for understanding the theory of X-ray diffraction discussed in the second section of the book. Part 2 describes how the X-ray diffraction can be applied for characterizing such various forms of materials as thin films single crystals and powders. The third section of the book covers applications of X-ray diffraction. The book presents a number of examples to help readers better comprehend the subject. X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research: From Fundamentals to Applications also • provides background knowledge of diffraction to enable nonspecialists to become familiar with the topics• covers the practical applications as well as the underlying principle of X-ray diffraction• presents appropriate examples with answers to help readers understand the contents more easily• includes thin film characterization by X-ray diffraction with relevant experimental techniques• presents a huge number of elaborately drawn graphics to help illustrate the content The book will help readers (students and researchers in materials science physics and chemistry) understand crystallography and crystal structures interference and diffraction structural analysis of bulk materials characterization of thin films and nondestructive measurement of internal stress and phase transition. Diffraction is an optical phenomenon and thus can be better understood when it is explained with an optical approach which has been neglected in other books. This book helps to fill that gap providing information to convey the concept of X-ray diffraction and how it can be applied to the materials analysis. This book will be a valuable reference book for researchers in the field and will work well as a good introductory book of X-ray diffraction for students in materials science physics and chemistry. | X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals

Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals

This new volume Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines: A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals focuses on design and installation of laboratory gas pipelines. It instructs design engineers laboratory managers and installation technicians on how to source the information and specifications they require for the design and installation of laboratory gas systems suitable for their intended use. The current use of specifications predominantly taken from medical gas standards for this type of work is not always suitable; these standards are for use with medical grade gases that have a purity level of 99. 5%. The purity levels required in laboratories however start at 99. 9% for general industrial use through to 99. 9995% (Ultra High Purity (UHP)) and higher. Regular medical gas standards are also unsuitable for use with the oxidizing flammable and in some instances toxic gases that are regularly encountered in laboratories. As need for gas purity increases the methodology used to design a piping system must vary to meet those parameters and this reference provides the necessary information and resources. There are no comprehensive single sources of technical references currently available in this market states the author and the generally supplied specifications provided to the construction industry are usually generic and not specifically targeted for the gases in use. The results provide extremely poor quality designs and in some instances unusable systems. With over 40 years of specialization in the industry from project management to systems design testing and commissioning of projects with values in excess of $15 million the author comprehensively fills that gap with this rich resource. Key features• provides information on types of laboratories that use laboratory gases and the equipment needed• explains the various methods of construction and the materials used to ensure that the purity of the gases remains as supplied from the manufacturers• incorporates the design methodology used to meet the various requirements of the laboratory and the information required to ensure that the correct engineering is provided• presents information on the purity levels of the gases and the data on the equipment used for pipelines and compatibility issues• presents an example of a simple laboratory gas specification that provides guidelines on the information necessary to provide a set of design documents | Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals
