X-Rays in Research and Industry

Abstract

IT seems to be the fate of the physicist to provide the tools for others to finish off the job. X-ray physics has provided a very practical tool for studying the inner structure of materials. Inevitably it has become the concern of the chemist, metallurgist and engineer. This, however, is a good omen, and for further effective application of X-ray work one looks forward to increasing contributions from people interested in the structure of materials from points of view other than that of the pure physicist. This book by Dr. Hirst, who surveys the field for the metallurgist, is a welcome sign.
