Foundations of Crystallography with Computer Applications

Descripción

"Featuring four-color illustrations, Foundations of Crystallography with Computer Applications describes how atoms are arranged in crystals through a unified treatment of crystal systems using the metric matrix. Featuring two model crystal examples, this text develops its approach to point and space groups in two dimensions and then extends these ideas to three dimensions. The book interprets the International Tables for Crystallography to bridge the gap between the crystallographic literature and spatial interatomic relationships. Numerous computer-based exercises are integrated throughout the book, with MATLAB starter programs that reduce the minutiae of programming."--Jacket.
