Crystal Structures: Patterns and Symmetry (Paperback)

O'Keeffe, Michael, Hyde, Bruce G.

商品描述

This classic text is devoted to describing crystal structures, especially periodic structures, and their symmetries. Much of its content is essential to serious students of solid state chemistry and related sciences, which include mineralogy, materials science, and solid state physics. The treatment is the product of decades of research by authors Michael O'Keeffe and Bruce G. Hyde, and it provides a solid foundation for those entering the field.
The first three chapters introduce point and space symmetry groups using crystallographic conventions. With this background, students will be able to understand useful information from the crystallographic literature. Chapter 4 treats crystal geometry and features a discussion of transformations of coordinate systems. Chapters 5 through 7 are devoted to the description of simple geometric patterns that underlie crystal structures. Exercises and notes follow each chapter, and the text concludes with several appendixes. Updated material prepared for this Dover edition by Professor O'Keeffe and Dr. Proserpio enhances the presentation, which can serve as a textbook and as a general reference.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本經典的書籍專注於描述晶體結構,尤其是週期性結構及其對稱性。其中大部分內容對於嚴肅學習固態化學和相關科學的學生來說是必不可少的,這些科學包括礦物學、材料科學和固態物理學。這本書的內容是由Michael O'Keeffe和Bruce G. Hyde這兩位作者數十年的研究成果,為進入這個領域的人提供了堅實的基礎。

前三章介紹了使用晶體學慣例的點群和空間對稱群。有了這些背景知識,學生將能夠理解晶體學文獻中的有用信息。第四章介紹了晶體幾何學,並討論了座標系統的變換。第五章到第七章專門描述了構成晶體結構的簡單幾何圖案。每章後面都有練習題和註解,書的最後還附有幾個附錄。O'Keeffe教授和Proserpio博士為這本Dover版的書籍準備了更新的材料,增強了內容的呈現方式,使其既可以作為教科書,也可以作為一般參考資料。
