Crystals are sometimes called "Flowers of the Mineral Kingdom." In
addition to their great beauty, crystals and other textured
materials are enormously useful in electronics, optics, acoustics,
and many other engineering applications. This richly illustrated
text describes the underlying principles of crystal physics and
chemistry, covering a wide range of topics, and illustrating
numerous applications in many fields of engineering using the most
important materials. It has been written at a level suitable for
science and engineering students and cab be used for teaching a
one- or two-semester course.
Tensors, matrices, symmetry, and structure-property relationships
form the main subjects of the book. While tensors and matrices
provide the mathematical framework for understanding anistropy, on
which the physical and chemical properties of crystals and textured
materials often depend, atomistic arguments are also needed to
qualify the property coefficients in various directions. The
atomistic arguments are partly based on symmetry and party on the
basic physics and chemistry of materials.
After introducing the point groups appropriate for single
crystals, textured materials, and ordered magnetic structures, the
directional properties of many different materials are described:
linear and nonlinear elasticity, piezoelectricity and
electrostriction, magnetic phenomena, diffusion and other transport
properties, and both primary and secondary ferroic behavior. With
crystal optics (its roots in classical mineralogy) having become an
important component of the information age, nonlinear optics is
described along with the piezo-optics and electro-optics, and
analagous linear andnonlinear acoustic wave phenomena.
Enantiomorphism, optical activity, and chemical anisotropy are
discussed in the final chapters of the book.
