 The Basics of Crystallography and Diffraction, 3rd Edition
Christopher Hammond, University of Leeds, UK.
ISBN 978-0-19-954644-2 - Hardback 432 pages - Published by Oxford University Press 2009
This book provides a clear introduction to topics which are essential to students in a wide range of scientific disciplines. It shows how crystal structures may be built up from simple ideas of atomic packing and co-ordination, it develops the concepts of crystal symmetry, point and space groups by way of 2D examples of patterns and tilings, it explains the concept of the reciprocal lattice in simple terms and shows its importance in an understanding of light, X-ray and electron diffraction. |
