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 What's New in the Second Edition: Eight
new chapters that give detailed crystallographic analyses of one
crystal chosen for each crystal system Numerous molecular examples
and suggestions for student projects Coverage of special topics
that naturally arise in the treatment of the crystals Suggestions
for student projects with date that can be found in the free
Teaching Subset of the Cambridge Structural Database Point group
and space group diagrams have been color coded using a new scheme
devised by the author to emphasize the change of handedness of the
symmetry operations All the Starter Programs have been rewritten
and improved, and a new one has been added in Chapter 6 on the
graphing of intensity vs. 2 for powder diffraction data 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 Mosely's relationship in ordering the
elements of the periodic table giving students a thorough
foundation in the subject. Print Versions of this book also include
access to the ebook version.
