International Tables for Crystallography is the definitive resource
and reference work for crystallography and structural science. Each
of the eight volumes in the series contains articles and tables of
data relevant to crystallographic research and to applications of
crystallographic methods in all sciences concerned with the
structure and properties of materials. Emphasis is given to
symmetry, diffraction methods and techniques of crystal-structure
determination, and the physical and chemical properties of
crystals. The data are accompanied by discussions of theory,
practical explanations and examples, all of which are useful for
teaching. Volume D is concerned with the influence of symmetry on
the physical and tensor properties of crystals and on their
structural phase transitions. This role is very important in many
different disciplines of the science of materials such as
crystallography, elasticity, solid-state physics, magnetism,
optics, ferroelectricity and mineralogy, and Volume D deals with
all these aspects in a unified way. The volume is divided into 3
parts: Part 1: Introduces the mathematical properties of tensors
and group representations and gives their independent components
for each of the crystallographic groups. Part 2: Devoted to the
symmetry aspects of excitations in reciprocal space: phonons,
electrons, Raman scattering and Brillouin scattering. Part 3: Deals
with the symmetry aspects of structural phase transitions and
twinning. A prominent feature is the joint description of twinning
and domain structures, which are usually presented in completely
separate ways in handbooks of physics and mineralogy. Supplementary
software is provided to support and enhance Chapters 1.1 and 1.2
for the determination of irreducible group representations and
tensor components, and Part 3 on structural phase transitions. New
to this edition: This second edition of Volume D features a new
chapter (Chapter 1.11) on the tensorial properties of local crystal
susceptibilities, by V. E. Dmitrienko, A. Kirfel and E. N.
Ovchinnikova. This chapter describes the symmetry and physical
phenomena that allow and restrict forbidden reflections excited at
radiation energies close to the X-ray absorption edges of atoms.
Reflections caused by magnetic scattering are also discussed. In
Part 1, Chapters 1.1 (an introduction to the properties of
tensors), 1.2 (on representations of crystallographic groups), 1.3
(elastic properties), 1.5 (magnetic properties) and 1.10 (on
tensors in quasiperiodic structures) have been revised. In
particular, Chapter 1.5 features a new section on multiferroics by
M. Kenzelmann. Chapter 3.3 on twinning of crystals has been updated
and new sections on the effect of twinning in reciprocal space and
on the relations between twinning and domain structure have been
added. Chapter 3.4 on domain structures has also been updated. More
