Description:

Blending rigorous presentation with ease of reading, this is a self-contained textbook on the fundamentals of crystallography, symmetry and diffraction. Emphasis is on combining visual illustrations of crystal structures with the mathematical theory of crystallography. The first half of the book describes the basics of crystallography, discussing bonding, crystal systems, symmetry and concepts of diffraction. The second half is more advanced, focussing on different classes of materials, and building on an understanding of the simpler to more complex atomic structures. Geometric principles and computational techniques are introduced, allowing the reader to gain a full appreciation of…
