Publisher's Synopsis
In recent years crystallographic techniques have found application in a wide range of subjects, and these applications in turn have lead to exciting developments in the field of crystallography itself.;This new textbook offers an introduction to these developments and for the first time provides in a single volume a comprehensive and accessible overview of modern crystallography. The text offers a rigorous treatment of theory and describes experimental applications in many fields: crystal symmetry, crystallographic computing, X-ray diffraction, crystal structure solution, molecular and ionic crystals, protein crystallography, and crystal physics.;This book is intended for undergraduates in physics and chemistry departments, researchers in crystallography, chemistry, solid state physics, materials science, mineralogy, molecular biology, mathematics.
