The purpose of this series is to provide comprehensive up-to-date monographs in both well established disciplines and emerging research areas within the broad fields of chemical physics and physical chemistry. The books deal with both fun­damental science and applications, and may have either a theoretical or an experi­mental emphasis. They are aimed primarily at researchers and graduate students in chemical physics and related fields.

Preface

More than thirty years have past since the publication of X-Ray Diffraction by Polymers by the authors (original edition in Japanese published by Maruzen, Tokyo, 1968, and English edition by Kodansha-Elsevier, Tokyo-Amsterdam, 1972).

Since then, accelerated by the very rapid and the remarkable development of electronic computers, both hard- and software as well as new experimental techniques, marvelous de­velopments have been achieved on X-ray sources. X-ray detectors. X-ray apparata in exper­imental technique and methods of identification of crystalline materials, methods of struc­ture solution and structure analysis of small and macromolecular crystals X-ray diffraction data, presentation of the results obtained, i.e. crystal and molecular structures, and the crys-tallographic databases related to them.

Today, we can see the words, "'mail-in' crystallography" in scientific journals, refer­ring to sending sample(s) with appropriate information to an institution by mail, making it possible to obtain the structure of a complex biological molecule by mail within days ('mail-in' service). However, the authors believe that there are many scientists who are not satisfied with the results obtained by conventional analysis and wish to try to find a way to obtain more detailed structural information on macromolecules or high polymers by them­selves based on the fundamentals of X-ray diffraction.

The present volume is divided into three parts as in earlier editions: fundamental, ex­perimental and analytical. In the fundamental part. X-ray small-angle scattering is more precisely described in Chapter 6. In the experimental part, recently developed devices and the latest version of X-ray instruments equipped with these detectors are described. On the other hand, for the basic understanding of X-ray diffraction, descriptions and usages of rather old X-ray instruments are also given. In the analytical section, in addition to the structure analysis of high polymers, a new introduction has been added on the crystalliza­tion and structure determination of biological macromolecules in Chapter 13.

In this way, it is hoped that whichever section the reader turns to, depending on the re­search field, knowledge and experience, a contribution will be made. That is to say, the volume is intended as an intermediate textbook bridging the gap between beginners and specialist workers. Explanatory daigrams have been planned as far as possible to provide an intuitive understanding, and in the description of the equipment and methods it is shown how these are adapted to suit the aims of the analysis. The procedure adopted in the analyt­ical part is to advance from the simple to the complex, starting with analyses of crystalline diffraction spots, amorphous haloes, broadening of diffraction spots, and overall back­ground scattering, then concentrating of X-ray diffraction pattern, and proceeding eventual­ly to composite analytical methods constructed from these individual analyses. Also, many pages have been allotted to examples from original works in order to facilitate the practical application of the analysis for the less experienced. It is hoped that these examples will serve as a further step beyond the level of most primers, but without obscuring the forest for the trees.

VI Preface

Most of the revised manuscripts were finished at the end of 1994. However, the homes of both authors were severely damaged by the heavy earthquake which hit Kobe and nearby areas in Japan on 17 January, 1995, causing delay in the publication of the monograph. Last year minimum revisions were again made on the manuscripts and pictures of the latest instruments were included in the experimental part of the work.

The painstaking work of the staff of Kodansha Ltd. in preparing the text is gratefully acknowledged. One of the authors (N.K.) deeply thanks the late Mrs. Maria Hiroko KA-SAI for her assistance in the initial stages.
