Cowley J.M. Diffraction Physics

3-rd ed. — Elsevier, 1995. — 499 p. In this third edition an attempt has been made to make this book more consistent with the present status of diffraction activity which has undergone important developments in the last fifteen years. It is not feasible to attempt an adequate description of current techniques or the most recent theoretical developments, but it is hoped that sufficient reference has been made to these things to allow them to be placed in the context of the elementary theoretical ideas which form the basis for this book. In preparing this Edition, I have benefitted greatly from interactions with, and assistance from, the faculty, research associates, staff and students associated with the Center for High Resolution Electron Microscopy at Arizona State University. In particular, I would like to express my gratitude to Kaye Frix for her painstaking work on preparing the camera-ready copy.
