The Basics of Crystallography and Diffraction
Author: Christopher HammondPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198738676
Category : Crystallography
Languages : en
Pages : 538
Book Description
This book provides a clear and very broadly based introduction to crystallography, light, X-ray and electron diffraction - a knowledge which is essential to students in a wide range of scientific disciplines but which is otherwise generally covered in subject-specific and more mathematicallydetailed texts. The text is also designed to appeal to the more general reader since it shows, by historical and biographical references, how the subject has developed from the work and insights of successive generations of crystallographers and scientists.The book shows how an understanding of crystal structures, both inorganic and organic may be built up from simple ideas of atomic and molecular packing. Beginning with (two dimensional) examples of patterns and tilings, the concepts of lattices, symmetry point and space groups are developed."Penrose" tilings and quasiperiodic structures are also included. The reciprocal lattice and its importance in understanding the geometry of light, X-ray and electron diffraction patterns is explained in simple terms, leading to Fourier analysis in diffraction, crystal structure determination, imageformation and the diffraction-limited resolution in these techniques. Practical X-ray and electron diffraction techniques and their applications are described. A recurring theme is the common principles: the techniques are not treated in isolation.The fourth edition has been revised throughout, and includes new sections on Fourier analysis, Patterson maps, direct methods, charge flipping, group theory in crystallography, and a new chapter on the description of physical properties of crystals by tensors (Chapter 14).

Crystal Structure Analysis
Author: Jenny Pickworth GluskerPublisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191604240
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
This book aims to explain how and why the detailed three-dimensional architecture of molecules can be determined by an analysis of the diffraction patterns obtained when X rays or neutrons are scattered by the atoms in single crystals. Part 1 deals with the nature of the crystalline state, diffraction generally, and diffraction by crystals in particular, and, briefly, the experimental procedures that are used. Part II examines the problem of converting the experimentally obtained data into a model of the atomic arrangement that scattered these beams. Part III is concerned with the techniques for refining the approximate structure to the degree warranted by the experimental data. It also describes the many types of information that can be learned by modern crystal structure analysis. There is a glossary of terms used and several appendixes to which most of the mathematical details have been relegated.
Introduction to Mineralogy
Author: Carl W. CorrensPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642871348
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 490
Book Description
The first edition of this book has been out of print for seven years. The ques tion as to whether a new edition should be produced was answered affirmatively on many counts. I think that the considerations which led me to write this book in 1949 are still valid (see Preface to the First Edition). Moreover, a description of those areas of interest which together comprise the field of Mineralogy seems to be more necessary than ever, because of the rapid advances which have been made. Due to the rapid extension of our knowledge, I did not dare again to treat the whole field by myself. Accordingly, Professor ZEMANN kindly agreed to revise the first part of the book dealing with Crystallography. He made many important corrections. In Part II the basic question arose as to whether the physical-chemical approach to rock forming processes, becoming more and more important, required inclusive treatment of the fundamentals of physical chemistry in the book. I see certain dangers in trying to produce a petrology text which is physical chemically self-sufficient. Thus, I retain the same opinion which prevailed when I wrote the previous edition; namely that the necessary basic knowledge should be acquired in lectures and laboratory classes in physics, chemistry, and physical chemistry, and with the help of standard literature dealing with these subjects. This back ground is, therefore, presumed and fundamentals are only referred to occasionally.

Crystallography Applied to Solid State Physics

ISBN: 9788122403213
Category : Crystallography
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
A Course On Crystallography Is A Necessary Beginning For All Solid State Physics Courses, Since The Student Must Have A Clear Concept Of The Crystallographic Methods And Principles Before Proceeding To Learn The Physics Of Solids. The Present Authors Have Earlier Written The Book Entitled Crystallography For The Solid State Physics (Wiley 1982). The Book Proved Very Popular With The Students And Reviewers Also Highly Commended The Book, (E.G. One Of The Reviewers Termed It As A Treasure Chest Of Knowledge In Crystallography). However, It Has Been Felt That Solid State Physics Component In The Earlier Book Was Rather Too Little In Content. The Present Book Is An Attempt To Enlarge This Content So As To Provide Solid State Portion Its Due Share. To Accomplish This Already Existing Chapters On Solid State Have Been Enlarged And Some New Chapters Have Been Added. The Book S Intended To Serve As An Introductory Text For All Graduate And Undergraduate Students Whose Eventual Aim Is To Specialise In Solid State Physics.
Introduction To Condensed Matter Physics, Volume 1
Author: Duan FengPublisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9813102195
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 612
Book Description
This is volume 1 of two-volume book that presents an excellent, comprehensive exposition of the multi-faceted subjects of modern condensed matter physics, unified within an original and coherent conceptual framework. Traditional subjects such as band theory and lattice dynamics are tightly organized in this framework, while many new developments emerge spontaneously from it. In this volume,• Basic concepts are emphasized; usually they are intuitively introduced, then more precisely formulated, and compared with correlated concepts.• A plethora of new topics, such as quasicrystals, photonic crystals, GMR, TMR, CMR, high Tc superconductors, Bose-Einstein condensation, etc., are presented with sharp physical insights.• Bond and band approaches are discussed in parallel, breaking the barrier between physics and chemistry.• A highly accessible chapter is included on correlated electronic states — rarely found in an introductory text.• Introductory chapters on tunneling, mesoscopic phenomena, and quantum-confined nanostructures constitute a sound foundation for nanoscience and nanotechnology.• The text is profusely illustrated with about 500 figures.
