David Field Libri

Electron backscatter diffraction is a very powerful and relatively new materials characterization technique aimed at the determination of crystallographic texture, grain boundary character distributions, lattice strain, phase identification, and much more. The purpose of this book is to provide the fundamental basis for electron backscatter diffraction in materials science, the current state of both hardware and software, and illustrative examples of the applications of electron backscatter diffraction to a wide-range of materials including undeformed and deformed metals and alloys, ceramics, and superconductors. The text has been substantially revised from the first edition, and the authors have kept the format as close as possible to the first edition text. The new developments covered in this book include a more comphrensive coverage of the fundamentals not covered in the first edition or other books in the field, the advances in hardware and software since the first edition was published, and current examples of application of electron backscatter diffraction to solve challenging problems in materials science and condensed-matter physics.

David Field returns with a gripping Victorian mystery series that will captivate fans of classic sleuths. Set in London in 1892, the story begins with the unsettling discovery of a mass grave from the Black Death, unearthed during the extension of Aldgate Underground station. As workmen carelessly discard the bones, a renowned spiritualist claims that the dead are rising to exact vengeance on the living. This unsettling claim leads to strange occurrences in the East End, with some individuals succumbing to unexplained deaths, inciting panic among the populace. Distressed parishioners seek solace from local preacher Matthew West, who, feeling out of his depth, enlists the help of doctor James Carlyle. Their contrasting beliefs in science and religion create tension, yet they unite to investigate the mysterious fatalities. Is there a curse haunting London? Have the dead truly returned? Or is a serial killer stalking the streets? This thrilling narrative marks the beginning of the Carlyle & West Victorian Mysteries, a series filled with suspense and intrigue, promising readers a captivating journey through Victorian London.
