With an abundance of illustrative figures and diagrams, it provides a thorough and accessible introduction to crystals for undergraduate and graduate students eager to delve into the fundamentals and advanced concepts of this discipline. The book begins by delving into foundational concepts, including the geometry, morphology, and symmetry of lattices, presenting them from a mathematical perspective, abstracting them from their material manifestations. This mathematical approach sets the stage for subsequent chapters, which focus on crystallochemistry. Here, readers are introduced to the distinctions between ideal and real crystals, as well as between static and dynamic crystals. The second part of the textbook delves into the realm of crystallophysics, exploring the electrical, magnetic, mechanical, elastic, and optical properties of crystals. Additionally, it addresses the fundamental laws and methods of X-ray diffraction, a crucial tool in studying the structure and properties of crystals. By comprehensively covering these topics, this textbook equips students with the necessary knowledge and skills to understand the intricate world of crystals, enabling them to pursue careers in various scientific and engineering fields. Whether you are a novice seeking to gain a foundational understanding of crystallography or an advanced student seeking to expand your expertise, this textbook is an indispensable resource for your academic journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 942g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 162 x 242 x 41 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030967826\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celia Marcos","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102702661882,"sku":"9783030967826","price":74.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1671800754202_book.jpg?v=1671889379","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/crystallography-introduction-to-the-study-of-minerals-9783030967826","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
