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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee What?s New in the Second Edition:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eEight new chapters that give detailed crystallographic analyses of one crystal chosen for each crystal system \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNumerous molecular examples and suggestions for student projects\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCoverage of special topics that naturally arise in the treatment of the crystals\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuggestions for student projects with date that can be found in the free Teaching Subset of the Cambridge Structural Database\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePoint 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\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAll 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\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003eNew appendices contain detailed information about the 32 three-dimensional point groups and the 10 two-dimensional point groups\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrint Versions of this book also include access to the ebook version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46154779132055,"sku":"9781466552913","price":9135.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781466552913_f34dcd5f-6cbc-4700-9f0e-ade91904cdbd.jpg?v=1759223354","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/foundations-of-crystallography-with-computer-applications-9781466552913","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
