The Basics of Crystallography and Diffraction (International Union of Crystallography Texts on Crystallography) - Hardcover
Synopsis
A knowledge of crystallography opens the door to a clearer understanding of topics in physics, chemistry, and other disciplines. In this new text, basic ideas in crystallography and diffraction are explained simply and comprehensively. The physical concepts and geometrical features common to diffraction modes are emphasized by simple analogies and demonstrations, with special attention paid to two-dimensional patterns and symmetry. The book, written by an experienced teacher, is an ideal introduction for students.

Review
"Presents the basic concepts of crystallography and diffraction in a simple and comprehensible fashion. . . .I recommend this book to first year students taking a crystallography course as an additional or supplementary material. This volume can help provide the intuition and understanding that is often lost in the heat of the mathematics." --The Leading Edge
"This text book presents an introduction to crystallography. The ideas of symmetry, structure, lattices and architecture of crystals are approached by reference to everyday examples of things. Diffraction is also covered. The subject of diffraction flows naturally from that of crystallography because by its means the structures of materials are revealed. The historical development and interpretation of x-ray diffraction patterns is included. Graphs Photomicrographs."--Metals Abstracts
