This book is a fundamental work for those seeking to understand the structure and properties of crystalline materials from a rigorous and systematic approach. Its coverage, which ranges from the physical principles of X-rays to structural refinement using the Rietveld method, provides a solid theoretical and practical foundation. The inclusion of symmetry group analysis and the study of elasticity reinforce its value in areas such as electronics and engineering. With an educational and precise approach, this work becomes an indispensable reference for materials characterization.

About the Author
John Fernando Zapata Mesa has a B.Sc. in theoretical physics, an M.Sc. in elementary particle physics, and a Ph.D. in materials engineering. He completed his postdoctoral stay in quantum mechanics, addressing the problem of quantum confinement in semiconductor heterostructures. He obtained all degrees at the University of Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia. He has been working at the University of Envigado for 17 years and is a full professor attached to the Faculty of Engineering.
His most recent research deals with the characterization of cementitious materials, the study of confinement in semiconductor heterostructures, and the modeling and simulation of physical phenomena at the macro and microstructure level and at the quantum level. Now he focuses on the study of the properties of materials from the study of their symmetries in the case of crystalline materials and methods of quantification of the amorphous phase in non-crystalline materials. For this purpose, he uses artificial intelligence tools, and tools such as the modified Rietveld method, FTIR modeling and Raman spectroscopy complemented with thermal analysis methods such as DSC and TGA techniques.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
