Publisher's Synopsis
This monograph provides detailed information on the principles, instrumentation, and application of X-ray diffraction at elevated temperatures. More particularly, it summarizes the uses of intense X-ray sources and position-sensitive detectors to assess them in comparison with competing techniques for in situ process analysis at elevated temperatures.;This book is intended for use in the training of personnel and in the promotion of the process. Within the areas of X-ray diffraction, materials characterization and thermal analysis, it should be of interest to crystallographers, thermal analysts, materials scientists, physicists, chemists, chemical engineers, and electrical engineers.
