DESCRIPTION:
W Boudville said Your expert knowledge is needed. Powder diffraction has been around for decades, as a means of determining (or attempting to determine) crystal structure. However, David shows the many advances in recent years, driven principally by ever more powerful computers.He describes that going from powder data to a crystal structure is often an underdetermined problem, compared to dealing with single crystal samples. Thus many methods have arisen, that basically take intelligent steps or assumptions, to reduce down the manifold possibilities.He makes a cogent point that all is not yet automated. There is often sti

`The book is an essential and complete text for newcomers to structure solution from powder data, and those who are familiar with the technique should find much of interest in its pages.' Journal of Applied Crystallography
The art of solving a structure from powder diffraction data has developed rapidly over the last ten years to the point where numerous crystal structures, both organic and inorganic, have been solved directly from powder data. Written and edited by experts active in the field, and covering both the fundamental and applied aspects of structure solution from powder diffraction data, this book guides both novices and experienced practitioners alike through the maze of possibilities.. However, it is still an art and, in contrast to its single crystal e
