Synopsis

In recent years crystallographic techniques have found application in a wide range of subjects, and these applications in turn have lead to exciting developments in the field of crystallography itself. This new textbook offers an introduction to these developments and for the first time provides in a single volume a comprehensive and accessible overview of modern crystallography. The text offers a rigorous treatment of theory and describes experimental applications in many fields: crystal symmetry, crystallographic computing, X-ray diffraction, crystal structure solution, molecular and ionic crystals, protein crystallography, and crystal physics. This book is intended for undergraduates in physics and chemistry departments, researchers in crystallography, chemistry, solid state physics, materials science, mineralogy, molecular biology, mathematics.
