Crystallography

Beschreibung

As a self-study guide, course primer or teaching aid, Borchardt-Ott's Crystallography is the perfect textbook for students and teachers alike. In fact, it can be used by crystallographers, chemists, mineralogists, geologists and physicists. Based on the author's more than 25 years of teaching experience, the book has numerous line drawings designed especially for the text and a large number of exercises - with solutions - at the end of each chapter. This 2nd edition is the translation of the fifth German edition. The heart of the book is firmly fixed in geometrical crystallography. It is from the concept of the space lattice that symmetry operations, Bravais lattices, space groups and point groups are all developed. The symmetry of molecules is described including the resulting non-crystallographic point groups. Crystal forms and the relationship between point groups and physical properties are treated. Much emphasis is placed on the correspondence between point groups and space groups. The sections on crystal chemistry and X-ray diffraction are intended as an introduction to these fields.
This book on crystallography emphasizes geometrical aspects and is directed to those involved in natural sciences, especially chemists, mineralogists and geologists. Symmetry elements, Bravais lattices as well as space and point groups are dealt on the basis of the space lattice. Additional chapters treat the subjects of crystal chemistry and X-ray methods, among others. Numerous exercises with appended solutions allow readers to test and augment their level of comprehension.
