Diffraction Physics

The first edition of this highly successful book appeared in 1975 and evolved from lecture notes for classes in physical optics, diffraction physics and electron microscopy given to advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The book deals with electron diffraction and diffraction from disordered or imperfect crystals and employed an approach using the Fourier transform from the beginning instead of as an extension of a Fourier series treatment.

This third revised edition is a considerably rewritten and updated version which now includes all important developments which have taken place in recent years.

"I have nothing but praise for this book. There is something in it for every physicist, not the least of which is the unifying process the author sets out to achieve." --Radiation Effects

"The publication of this book is an important event in the world of optics and microscopy." --Acta Crystallographica
