Beschreibung
Site Symmetry in Crystals is the first comprehensive account of the group-theoretical aspects of the site (local) symmetry approach to the study of crystalline solids. The efficiency of this approach, which is based on the concepts of simple induced and band representations of space groups, is demonstrated by considering newly developed applications to electron surface states, point defects, symmetry analysis in lattice dynamics, the theory of second-order phase transitions, and magnetically ordered and non-rigid crystals. Tables of simple induced respresentations are given for the 24 most common space groups, allowing the rapid analysis of electron and phonon states in complex crystals with many atoms in the unit cell.
This is the first comprehensive account of the group-theoretical aspects of the site symmetry approach to the study of crystalline solids. The efficiency of this approach is demonstrated by discussion of newly developed applications. This title will be of interest to researchers investigating electron and phonon spectra of crystals, etc., and high-temperature superconductivity.
