For many years it was believed that translational symmetry would be
the fundamental property of crystal structures of natural and
synthetic compounds. It is now recognised that many compounds
crystallise without translational symmetry of their atomic
structures. "Incommensurate Crystallography" gives a comprehensive
account of the superspace theory for the description of crystal
structures and symmetries of these incommensurately modulated
crystals and incommensurate composite crystals. It thus provides
the necessary background for quantitative analysis of
incommensurate crystals by methods in Solid State Chemistry and
Solid State Physics. The second half of "Incommensurate
Crystallography" is devoted to crystallographic methods of
structural analysis of incommensurate compounds. Thorough accounts
are given of the diffraction by incommensurate crystals, the choice
of parameters in structure refinements, and the use of superspace
in analysing crystal structures. The presentation of methods of
structure determination includes modern methods like the Maximum
Entropy Method and Charge Flipping.
