Overview
The dynamical theory of diffraction has witnessed exciting developments since the advent of synchroton radiation. This book provides an up-to-date account of the theory of diffraction and its applications. The first part serves as an introduction to the subject, presenting early developments and the basic results. It is followed by a detailed development of the diffraction and propagation properties of x-rays in perfect crystals and by an extension of the theory to the case of slightly and highly deformed crystals. The last part gives three applications of the theory: X-ray optics for synchroton radiation, locations of atoms at surfaces, and X-ray diffraction topography. The book is richly illustrated and contains a wide range of references to the literature. It will be a most useful reference work for graduate students, lecturers and researchers.

`Review from previous edition In this remarkable book, which is both an in-depth review and a tutorial, the author catalogs a half-century of the use of X-rays to study perfect crystals. It is mandatory reading for specialized workers in dynamical diffraction, and an essential reference for anyone interested in modern applications of X-ray scattering using synchroton radiation.' Boris W. Batterman, Acta Crystallographica A `A book most diffraction physicists were really looking for. The most comprehensive treatment of our up-to-date knowledge of this fascinating field.' Edgar Weckert, HASYLAB at DESY Hamburg, Germany `... a must for anyone dealing with X-ray scattering.' Vaclav Holy, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic `... covers a very important subject for today's X-ray scientists.' Paul Fewster, Crystallography News
