Title Modern Crystallography III : Crystal Growth Author(s) Chernov, A.A Publication Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1984. Description XX, 517 p : online resource Abstract Note Early in this century, the newly discovered x-ray diffraction by crystals made a complete change in crystallography and in the whole science of the atomic structure of matter, thus giving a new impetus to the development of solid-state physics. 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 ISBN,Price 9783642818356 Keyword(s) 1.
