ICDD’s quarterly, (and a special topical issue) international journal, Powder Diffraction, focuses on materials characterization employing X-ray powder diffraction and related techniques. With feature articles covering a wide range of applications, from mineral analysis to epitactic growth of thin films to advances in application software and hardware, this journal offers a wide range of practical applications.

ICDD, in collaboration with the Denver X-ray Conference Organizing Committee, has increased services for the subscribers of Powder Diffraction and authors of Advances in X-ray Analysis. In 2006, Powder Diffraction institutional subscribers who receive both print and on-line versions will receive the CD-ROM of Volume 49, Advances in X-ray Analysis. This effectively doubles the number of articles annually available to Powder Diffraction subscribers and significantly increases the circulation for the authors in Advances in X-ray Analysis.

Subject coverage includes:

• Techniques and procedures in X-ray powder diffractometry
• Advances in instrumentation
• Study of materials including organic materials, minerals, metals and thin film superconductors
• Publication of powder data on new materials

Authors, subjects and page numbers are listed in the past issue content pages.

Authors should read Notes for Authors for information on the scope, categories, manuscript preparation and submission to Powder Diffraction.

New Offering! Online advertising!- learn More [PDF]
Powder Diffraction has been available on-line through the AIP online service SCITATION since 2002. Since initial access there has been a steady increase in online subscription readership. One of the principle causes for the increase in readers is the participation of Powder Diffraction in a number of large AIP publishing consortia. By contract, these consortia provide access to a large number of users solely by online access. The web site is also visited thousands of times per month by non-subscribers who view the contents and abstracts. The offering of online advertising is a service designed to expand the value of your advertising and reward our frequent print advertisers with deep discounts.

Subscriptions to the journal are being handled by the American Institute of Physics (CODEN: PODIE2, ISSN:0885-7156).

Powder Diffraction is a quarterly journal published by the JCPDS-International Centre for Diffraction Data through the American Institute of Physics (AIP). Powder Diffraction is a journal of practical technique, publishing articles relating to the widest range of application—from materials analysis to epitactic growth of thin films and to the latest advances in software. Although practice will be
emphasized, theory will not be neglected, especially as its discussion will relate to better understanding of technique.
