This book presents the fundamentals of crystallography to students studying the solid state in chemistry, physics, materials science, geological sciences, and engineering. Computers are an essential part of crystallography, and appropriate computer-based exercises are integrated into this book for self-study. The material is presented in a logical order with the goal of understanding not only how atoms are arranged in crystals, but how crystal systems are related to each other. The theoretical material is developed extensively in two dimensions. An overview and some detailed examples are given in three dimensions.
Taking a straightforward, logical approach that emphasizes symmetry and crystal relationships, Foundations of Crystallography with Computer Applications, Second Edition provides a thorough explanation of the topic for students studying the solid state in chemistry, physics, materials science, geological sciences, and engineering. It is also written for scientists who want to teach themselves. Computers are an essential part of crystallography, and computer-based exercises are integrated into this book. The material is presented with the goal of creating an understanding of how atoms are arranged in crystals and how crystal systems are related to each other.
See Whats New in the Second Edition:
- New appendices contain detailed information about the 32 three-dimensional point groups and the 10 two-dimensional point groups
The book explains the individual entities, such as symmetry operations, and also explains how they fit together in a larger context. Coverage includes lattices, symmetry operations, metric matrices, point groups, space groups, reciprocal lattices, properties of x-rays, and electron density maps, all leading to a formal description of the crystal structures and an interpretation of the published crystallographic data. The author connects general properties such as the piezoelectric effect, compressibility, thermal expansion, and Moselys relationship in ordering the elements of the periodic table giving students a thorough foundation in the subject.
