Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This handbook leads the reader through the basic concepts of crystallography, which are essential to an understanding of such electrical and mechanical properties as piezoelectricity and doferomation mechanisms. It begins with a description of simple crystal structures and an explanation of how more complex structures can be considered in terms of these basic units. Simple two-dimensional patterns are used to introduce the concepts of the lattice and the motif, and ideas of symmetry. These ideas are extended to three dimensions with a discussion of the fourteen Bravais lattices and the consequent division of crystals jjinto seven systems. The description of crystal structures in terms of Miller indices and zone axis symbols is discussed and the concept of the reciprocal lattice is explained. Exercises are given at the end of every chapter, useful geometrical relationships are summarized in an appendix to the text and suggestions for further reading are given. Further appendices contain brief biographical notes on crystallographers mentioned in the text and advice on the availability of model-building kits and computers programs in basic crystallography.
