This is the first book to provide a comprehensive treatment of theories and applications in the rapidly expanding field of the crystallography of modular materials. Molecules are the natural modules from which molecular crystalline structures are built. Most inorganic structures, however, are infinite arrays of atoms and some kinds of surrogate modules, e.g. co-ordination polyhedra, are usually used to describe them. In recent years the attention has been focused on complex modules as the basis for a systematic description of polytypes and homologous/polysomatic series (modular structures). This representation is applied to the modelling of unknown structures and understanding nanoscale defects and intergrowths in materials. The Order/Disorder (OD) theory is fundamental to developing a systematic theory of polytypism, dealing with those structures based on both ordered and disordered stacking of one or more layers. Twinning at both unit-cell and micro-scale, together with disorder, causes many problems, "demons", for computer-based methods of crystal structure determination. This book develops the theory of twinning with the inclusion of worked examples, converting the "demons" into useful indicators for unravelling crystal structure. In spite of the increasing use of the concepts of modular crystallography for characterising, understanding and tailoring technological crystalline materials, this is the first book to offer a unified treatment of the results, which are spread across many different journals and original papers published over the last twenty years.
Crystallography is an interdisciplinary science covering a wide
area, from biology to earth sciences, mathematics and materials
science. Its role is growing, owing to the contribution
crystallography can offer to the understanding of such diverse
fields as biological structures, high-temperature superconductors,
mineral properties, and phase transitions. The book describes both
the theoretical bases and applications of different areas
interacting with crystallography. As with the first and second
editions, it is organized as a collection of chapters written by
recognized specialists, with all contributions being harmonized
into a unified whole. The main text is devoted to the presentation
of basics; the appendices deal with specialist aspects. In this
third edition topics have been updated so as to document the
present state of the art: emphasis is placed upon areas of current
research.
