Excerpt from X Rays and Crystal Structure
It is now two years since Dr. Laue conceived the idea of employing a crystal as a 'space diffraction grating' for X-rays. The successful realisation of the idea by Messrs. Friedrich and Knipping has opened up a wide field, of research in which results of great interest and importance have already been obtained. On the one hand the analysis of X-rays which has been rendered possible has led to remarkable conclusions concerning the atoms which emit them under the proper stimulus, and has thrown an entirely fresh light on problems of atomic structure. On the other hand the architecture of crystals has been laid open to examination; crystallography is no longer obliged to build only on the external forms of crystals, but on the much firmer basis of an exact knowledge of the arrangement of the atoms within. It seems possible also that the thermal movements of the atoms in the crystal will be susceptible not only of observation but even of exact measurement.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book invites readers to explore the fascinating discoveries of X-ray analysis as it relates to crystal structures. Born of a breakthrough presented in 1912 by Dr. Laue, this book details how scientists have utilized a crystal as a space grating for X-rays, opening up a whole new field of research. By analyzing the resulting patterns, scientists can determine the arrangement of atoms within a crystal, and in so doing, understand the very architecture of these materials. This led to remarkable conclusions about the atoms that emit X-rays under specific stimuli, shedding new light on problems of atomic structure. The discovery of two series of radiations, one from each of the K and L series, showed that within any one series, the penetrating power of a characteristic radiation increased steadily with the weight of the atom which produces it. With insights into crystal symmetry, the relation to the arrangement of atoms, and the intensity of X-ray reflection, this book serves as a valuable introduction to the field, demonstrating how it has deepened human understanding of the very essence of matter itself. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
