Synopsis

Crystallography and structure theory have recently received increasing interest due to their role in understanding biological structures, high-temperature superconductors, and effects on mineral properties related to changes in temperature and pressure. This book offers a comprehensive account of the wide range of crystallography in many branches of science. The fundamentals, the most frequently used procedures and experimental techniques are all described in a detailed way. A number of appendices are devoted to more specialist aspects. The book is an updated and fully revised new edition with emphasis on the wide range of topical applications and current areas of research. Ample illustrations help clarify the subject matter. To provide a better understanding of the basics of crystallography, a compact disk has been added to this new edition, offering the facilities of modern graphics to simulate experiments, show complex images, and provide a number of exercises.

About this title

Review

This completely revised text offers a rigorous treatment of the theory and describes experimental applications in many fields ... A set of pedagogical tools on CD-ROM has been added to this new edition. (Zeitschrift für Kristallographie)

An advanced and carefully written text on modern fundamentals of crystallography. (Zeitschrift für Kristallographie)

A new research worker could turn to the appropriate chapter and find a description of how to tackle real problems ... this book is an excellent crystallography text, both for those involved with the subject in a practical sense or those that require fundamental information on the subject ... it has that rare quality that the more it is read, the better it seems. It deserves a place on the shelf of all those involved in, or interested in, crystallography. (Materials World)
