Abstract

A review of the different kinds of radiations used in crystallography is presented. Equations for some of the fundamental properties of electromagnetic waves and particles are given. The different properties of the most frequently used radiations in crystallography (X-rays, electrons and neutrons) are tabulated. Special applications of X-rays, synchrotron radiation, γ-rays, electrons and neutrons are discussed. Other radiations, including atomic and molecular beams, positrons and muons, and infrared, visible and ultraviolet light, are also briefly considered.
