The current excitement in powder diffraction is in quantitative analysis of the data. The book is laid out in a way that facilitates understanding the information content of the data, as well as best practices for collecting and analyzing data for quantitative analysis. After a very brief overview of the basic theory of diffraction from crystals and powders, data collection strategies are described, including X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction setups using modern-day apparatus including synchrotron sources. Data corrections that are essential... 

C. Rietveld performs crystal structure refinement and quantitative phase analysis using powder diffraction data and the Rietveld method. Combining refinement programs and advanced modeling tools allows a faster route to determining the structures of both inorganic and molecular crystals. An effective way to know the atomic structure is by means of diffraction techniques using neutrons from nuclear reactors and particle accelerators or X-rays from...

The evaluation of texture is an important issue for the engineering of ferroelectric ceramics. Both, domain and crystallographic texture can be evaluated qualitatively or quantitatively using either microscopy or neutron and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Lotgering factor, f, a commonly used assessment of texture using XRD analysis, relates the relative intensities of (001) reflections to all observed reflections in a coupled 0-20 powder XRD spectrum [102] ...
