Overview
An updated version of the 1994 text, Physical Methods for Materials Characterization , this book provides a description of the large range of techniques in use for the characterization of the microstructure of materials. The characterization techniques covered include optical and x-ray techniques, electron microscopy and spectroscopy, and ion and particle microscopy and spectroscopy. This book is suitable as a textbook, but it also acts as a guide for inexperienced researchers who need to learn the best way to use a specific technique for any given group of materials.

Reviews
Reviews of the First Edition In this book, Flewitt and Wild strike a commendable balance between comprehensiveness and depth... It will also make an excellent source book for undergraduate projects in the final year... deserves to be found in every library that serves those who characterize inorganic materials. -- Physics World Each of the sections is well provided with references to the original literature. The book provides an excellent first port of call for anyone who needs to pick up background on these techniques. ... a very useful book that is worth a place on the bookshelf of anyone working in the field of materials characterisation. -- Prof R Tilley MIMMM Materials World, July 2004 The concept of this book is to bring under one title all the different techniques that can be used in the analyses and characterisation of materials. The book does not, nor does it claim to, go into great detail on any of the subjects discussed. It thereby gives a very good overview of each technique as it is described, without swamping the reader with too much detail that might hinder initial comprehension. I found the layout of the book well conceived, making it easy for the reader to quickly flip back and forth between the chapters for a reminder of certain concepts, or for a fuller description of a technique including references to other definitive works. I will recommend this book to any beginning post-graduate student student wishing to know more about materials characterisation. -- Dr Adam J. Papworth, Dept of Engineering, The University of Liverpool.
