Crystallographic methods, pri- marily x-ray diffraction analysis, penetrated into materials sciences, mol- ecular physics, and chemistry, and also into many other branches of science. Later, electron and neutron diffraction structure analyses be- came important since they not only complement x-ray data, but also supply new information on the atomic and the real structure of crystals. Electron microscopy and other modern methods of investigating mat- ter-optical, electronic paramagnetic, nuclear magnetic, and other res- onance techniques-yield a large amount of information on the atomic, electronic, and real crystal structures. Crystal physics has also undergone vigorous development. Many re- markable phenomena have been discovered in crystals and then found various practical applications. Other important factors promoting the development of crystallog- raphy were the elaboration of the theory of crystal growth (which brought crystallography closer to thermodynamics and physical chem- istry) and the development of the various methods of growing synthetic crystals dictated by practical needs. Man-made crystals became increas- ingly important for physical investigations, and they rapidly invaded technology. The production of synthetic crystals made a tremendous impact on the traditional branches: the mechanical treatment of mate- rials, precision instrument making, and the jewelry industry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45283829809303,"sku":"9783642966217","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642966217.webp?v=1769306028","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/modern-crystallography-ii-structure-of-crystals-9783642966217","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
