Neuware - This book presents the fundamentals of crystallography to students studying the solid state in chemistry, physics, materials science, geological sciences, and engineering. Computers are an essential part of crystallography, and appropriate computer-based exercises are integrated into this book for self-study. The material is presented in a logical order with the goal of understanding not only how atoms are arranged in crystals, but how crystal systems are related to each other. The theoretical material is developed extensively in two dimensions. An overview and some detailed examples are given in three dimensions. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781466552913

Inhaltsangabe:

Taking a straightforward, logical approach that emphasizes symmetry and crystal relationships, Foundations of Crystallography with Computer Applications, Second Edition provides a thorough explanation of the topic for students studying the solid state in chemistry, physics, materials science, geological sciences, and engineering. It is also written for scientists who want to teach themselves. Computers are an essential part of crystallography, and computer-based exercises are integrated into this book. The material is presented with the goal of creating an understanding of how atoms are arranged in crystals and how crystal systems are related to each other.

See What’s New in the Second Edition:

Eight new chapters that give detailed crystallographic analyses of one crystal chosen for each crystal system

Numerous molecular examples and suggestions for student projects

Coverage of special topics that naturally arise in the treatment of the crystals

Suggestions for student projects with date that can be found in the free Teaching Subset of the Cambridge Structural Database

Point group and space group diagrams have been color coded using a new scheme devised by the author to emphasize the change of handedness of the symmetry operations

All the Starter Programs have been rewritten and improved, and a new one has been added in Chapter 6 on the graphing of intensity vs. 2? for powder diffraction data

New appendices contain detailed information about the 32 three-dimensional point groups and the 10 two-dimensional point groups

The book explains the individual entities, such as symmetry operations, and also explains how they fit together in a larger context. Coverage includes lattices, symmetry operations, metric matrices, point groups, space groups, reciprocal lattices, properties of x-rays, and electron density maps, all leading to a formal description of the crystal structures and an interpretation of the published crystallographic data. The author connects general properties such as the piezoelectric effect, compressibility, thermal expansion, and Mosely’s relationship in ordering the elements of the periodic table giving students a thorough foundation in the subject.

Print Versions of this book also include access to the ebook version.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Maureen M. Julian earned an AB from Hunter College, New York City, with a double major in physics and mathematics, and a PhD from Cornell University in physical chemistry with a thesis in crystallography. She was a research fellow at University College, London, with Professor Dame Kathleen Lonsdale, a founder of the International Tables for Crystallography. The author has given several series of crystallography workshops for undergraduate and graduate students in various departments, including chemistry, geology, and materials science. Her interests include ab initio calculations, molecular bonding, and group theory.
