Structure and Chemistry of Crystalline Solids (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Crystallographers have an elegant system using definitive notation for describing crystal structures, but it does not serve as well the needs of many others working with crystalline solids. Most chemists, metallurgists, mineralogists, geologists and materials scientists need a simple system and notation for describing crystal structures. Structure and Chemistry of Crystalline Solids presents a widely applicable system with simple notation giving important information about the structure and the chemical environment of ions or molecules. It is easily understood and used by those concerned with applications dependent on structure-properties relationships. Early chapters provide an introduction to crystal structures and symmetry for readers with a variety of backgrounds. Insight into crystal structures, including some complex silicates, is aided by the use of the CrystalMaker computer program. The bundled CD-ROM, which uses CrystalMaker for instruction and demos on both Windows and Macintosh platforms, allows the user to manipulate the structures. Key Features: Understandable by anyone concerned with crystals or solid state properties dependent on structure Presents a general system using simple notation to reveal similarities and differences among crystal structures Depicts more than 300 selected and prepared figures illustrating structures found in thousands of compounds Includes a CD-ROM with CrystalMakerTM data files to allow the reader to view and manipulate the structures on both Windows and Macintosh platforms.

Autorenporträt

Bodie Douglas is Professor Emeritus of Chemistry of the University of Pittsburgh. He has had three editions of an inorganic chemistry textbook and a textbook on symmetry and group theory. He spent a year with the crystallographic group of Sir Gordon Cox at the University of Leeds (England). Shi-Ming Ho retired from Westinghouse Research Laboratory where he worked in materials science. Ideas for the system used for describing structures in this book were part of his doctoral dissertation with Bodie Douglas.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This book is very interesting and useful for its ability to describe systematically the often-overlooked similarities among crystal structures that appear, at first glance, to be very different. As such, it will appeal to specialists in crystal chemistry who are interested in probing deeper into structural similarities and differences in solid-state compounds and also to educators and students who desire supplementary information about crystal structures." (Raymond E. Schaak, JACS, Vol. 129 (2), 2007)
