Books by Keyword: Simulated Annealing (SA)

Description: 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.

The main focus of this special topic volume is the development and possibilities of the MACRO language within TOPAS, with a specific session dedicated to WPPM. The collection is presented here in the form of a “macro tutorial” for the benefit of the entire powder diffraction community. More than a collection of standard scientific papers, the contributions to this special issue provide methods, tutorials and practical suggestions and solutions for the proper use of TOPAS and WPPM in a number of applications; ranging from the most common to the most refined and specific cases.

X-ray powder diffraction is a non-destructive technique widely applied for the characterisation of crystalline materials. The method has been traditionally used for phase identification, quantitative analysis and the determination of structure imperfections. In recent years, applications have been extended to new areas, such as the determination of crystal structures and the extraction of three-dimensional microstructural properties.
