About this title

Review

' ... It is enjoyable to read and will be an asset to those struggling to get to grips with this subject. Any experimentalist hoping to understand crystalline material behaviour and stability would also, I hope, want to secure an understanding of lattice dynamics, if they have not already done so. This book is an excellent place to start that process.' Geological Magazine

' ... provides a self-contained text that introduces the subject from a basic level and takes the reader on to the research level through application of the theory to real world situations ...' Geophysics

' ... an excellent introduction.' Mineralogical Magazine

Book Description

The vibrations of atoms inside crystals - lattice dynamics - is basic to many fields of study in the solid-state and mineral sciences. This book provides a self-contained text that introduces the subject from a basic level and then takes the reader through applications of the theory.
