...largely with the theory of metals and alloys based on the study of the crystalline structure through application of X-ray diffraction technique and microscopy.

This apparatus permits the position of the diffraction lines to be measured with great accuracy and rapidity, and is proving a valuable tool in the determination of the distances between the atoms in metallic crystals. These distances are of the order of the hundred millionth part of a centimeter...
