Hello, does anyone know a good concise basic introductory book or other kind of source or course where I can find a good introduction to XRD with applied solved problems? My field of research is Heterogeneous Catalysis and I am starting a new project in which we have to use a powder xrd system to characterize catalysts like M/Zeolites (Ni, Pd, etc) with a modified pore structure. I need some background to start working. Thanks a lot!
"Elements Of X Ray Diffraction" by B. D. Cullity - it is the Bible
the book "Elements Of X Ray Diffraction" by B. D. Cullity is best book to start with XRD.
"Elements Of X Ray Diffraction" by B. D. Cullity - it is the Bible
Be careful that last edition of Cullity (3rd) is getting very bad reviews. I would go for the second or "Introduction to Diffraction in Materials Science and Engineering" by Krawitz.
The book "Characterization of Solid Materials and Heterogeneous Catalysts" is very useful to your XRD analysis and this one edited by Michel Che, Jacques C. Vedrine
A very useful start is the online course:
Advanced Certificate in Powder Diffraction on the Web
It is definitively faster than reading a whole book...
As a more powder diffraction centered book it can recommend:
"Fundamentals of Powder Diffraction and Structural Characterization of Materials"
by V. K. Pecharsky and P. Y. Zavalij

The best book is the "Elements Of X Ray Diffraction"
Have a very good day
