X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

X-ray diffraction is a useful and powerful analysis technique for characterizing crystalline materials commonly employed in MSE physics and chemistry. This informative new book describes the principles of X-ray diffraction and its applications to materials characterization. It consists of three parts. The first deals with elementary crystallography and optics which is essential for understanding the theory of X-ray diffraction discussed in the second section of the book. Part 2 describes how the X-ray diffraction can be applied for characterizing such various forms of materials as thin films single crystals and powders. The third section of the book covers applications of X-ray diffraction. The book presents a number of examples to help readers better comprehend the subject. X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research: From Fundamentals to Applications also • provides background knowledge of diffraction to enable nonspecialists to become familiar with the topics• covers the practical applications as well as the underlying principle of X-ray diffraction• presents appropriate examples with answers to help readers understand the contents more easily• includes thin film characterization by X-ray diffraction with relevant experimental techniques• presents a huge number of elaborately drawn graphics to help illustrate the content The book will help readers (students and researchers in materials science physics and chemistry) understand crystallography and crystal structures interference and diffraction structural analysis of bulk materials characterization of thin films and nondestructive measurement of internal stress and phase transition. Diffraction is an optical phenomenon and thus can be better understood when it is explained with an optical approach which has been neglected in other books. This book helps to fill that gap providing information to convey the concept of X-ray diffraction and how it can be applied to the materials analysis. This book will be a valuable reference book for researchers in the field and will work well as a good introductory book of X-ray diffraction for students in materials science physics and chemistry. | X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

Fish Cytogenetic Techniques Ray-Fin Fishes and Chondrichthyans

Fish Cytogenetic Techniques Ray-Fin Fishes and Chondrichthyans

Recent advances in fish cytogenetics have enhanced the interest in chromosome analysis in both fundamental (systematics and comparative genomics among fishes and other vertebrate groups) and applied (aquaculture conservation and response to pollutants whole genome sequencing of model fish species) research. Although the genomic material the chromosomes is basically the same in the various organisms experience has clearly shown that fish chromosomes have to be handled with specific protocols. In laboratories around the world traditional cytogenetic techniques and molecular cytogenetics have seen a vast improvement but the technical details and protocols are often not published in scientific journals because of constraints in format and size and therefore they are not accessible to the whole scientific community. These shortcomings are very well known to fish cytogeneticists and the idea to prepare a specific manual was first discussed during the first Workshop of Fish Cytogenetics held in Concarneau (France) in 1992. Resulting from the above workshop a draft compilation of the techniques and protocols in fish cytogenetics available at that time had been produced and distributed privately but never published. There does not exist at present any published handbook or manual specifically dealing with fish cytogenetics. This book fills this void by bringing together and updating the main techniques so that the traditional methods can be standardized. Moreover this book includes novel developments or improvements; some of the protocols provided here are practically unknown to the scientific community and even now unpublished. | Fish Cytogenetic Techniques Ray-Fin Fishes and Chondrichthyans

Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Conventional computed tomography (CT) techniques employ a narrow array of x-ray detectors and a fan-shaped x-ray beam to rotate around the patient to produce images of thin sections of the patient. Large sections of the body are covered by moving the patient into the rotating x-ray detector and x-ray source gantry. Cone beam CT is an alternative technique using a large area detector and cone-shaped x-ray beam to produce 3D images of a thick section of the body with one full angle (360 degree or 180 degree plus detector coverage) rotation. It finds applications in situations where bulky conventional CT systems would interfere with clinical procedures or cannot be integrated with the primary treatments or imaging systems. Cone Beam Computed Tomography explores the past present and future state of medical x-ray imaging while explaining how cone beam CT with its superior spatial resolution and compact configuration is used in clinical applications and animal research. The book:Supplies a detailed introduction to cone beam CT covering basic principles and applications as well as advanced techniquesExplores state-of-the-art research and future developments while examining the fundamental limitations of the technologyAddresses issues related to implementation and system characteristics including image quality artifacts radiation dose and perceptionReviews the historical development of medical x-ray imaging from conventional CT techniques to volumetric 3D imagingDiscusses the major components of cone beam CT: image acquisition reconstruction processing and displayA reference work for scientists engineers students and imaging professionals Cone Beam Computed Tomography provides a solid understanding of the theory and implementation of this revolutionary technology.

Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography Technology and Applications

Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography Technology and Applications

Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography is a comprehensive cover of the latest developments in the most prevalent imaging modality (x-ray computed tomography (CT)) in its latest incarnation: Spectral Dual-Energy and Photon Counting CT. Disadvantages of the conventional single-energy technique used by CT technology are that different materials cannot be distinguished and that the noise is larger. To address these problems a novel spectral CT concept has been proposed. Spectral Dual-Energy CT (DE-CT) acquires two sets of spectral data and Spectral Photon Counting CT (PC-CT) detects energy of x-ray photons to reveal additional material information of objects by using novel energy-sensitive photon-counting detectors. The K-edge imaging may be a gateway for functional or molecular CT. The book covers detectors and electronics image reconstruction methods image quality assessments a simulation tool nanoparticle contrast agents and clinical applications for spectral CT. | Spectral Photon Counting Computed Tomography Technology and Applications
