This proceedings volume contains research data on structural investigation of materials of high industrial value. In particular, the following issues are discussed: phase characterization by diffraction methods, application of direct methods for solving crystal structure from powder diffraction, electron crystallography, Rietveld method application, defects and substructure analysis in materials, new X-ray methods, small angle scattering studies of crystalline and amorphous solids, phase transformation studies including crystallography of the reversible martensitic transformation, structure of noncrystalline materials, structure and properties of new materials.

This volume covers the following areas — phase characterisation using diffraction methods; correction factors in powder diffraction; Rietveld method application; substructure analysis in textured materials; texture inhomogeneity and its determination; new X-ray diffraction methods; small angle scattering studies in crystalline and amorphous solids; X-Ray stress analysis; phase transitions particularly crystallography and pecularities of the reversible martensitic transformation; structure on non-crystalline materials and their crystallisation; structure and properties of new materials.

The proceedings of the XVth Conference on Applied Crystallography held in Cieszyn, Poland in August 1992 concentrated on two main fields. In the first field, special attention was paid to phase transformation in metal. In the second field, the papers dealt with methods such as quantitative phase identification, synchrotron technique and diffraction line analysis. A number of papers on computerization of experimental results, didactics and methodological problems are also included in this set of proceedings.

This proceedings volume contains research data from structural investigation of materials of high industrial value.

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). The goal of this collection is to provide an opportunity for researchers working in many different fields to showcase their latest achievements in the area of structural studies, as applied to the materials commonly used in industry. Emphasis is placed upon topics such as the development of methods and techniques in X-ray studies, crystal structure determination methods, the crystallography of phase transformations, texture analysis, material structures – metals and alloys, ceramics, polymers, thin films, quasicrystals, amorphous materials, nanomaterials and molecular crystals.

In recent years crystallographic techniques have found applications in a wide range of subjects, and these applications in turn have led to exciting developments in the field of crystallography itself. This completely revised text offers a rigorous treatment of the theory and describes experimental applications in many fields: crystal symmetry, crystallographic computing, X-ray diffraction, crystal structure solution, mineral and inorganic crystal chemistry, protein crystallography, crystallography of real crystals, and crystal physics. A set of pedagogical tools on CD-ROM has been added to this new edition.
