The interpretation and analysis of diffuse scattering using Monte Carlo simulation methods

The paper highlights some of the extra difficulties involved in the measurement, interpretation and analysis of diffuse scattering relative to the methods of conventional crystallography and plots the progress that has been made in the lifetime of Acta Crystallographica. With the advent of the latest X-ray and neutron sources, area detectors and the ever-increasing power of computers, most diffuse scattering and disorder problems are now tractable.
