Designed as a course text or self-study guide, this book introduces students of chemistry, mineralogy or geology to the field of crystallography. Although emphasis is placed on the correspondence between point and space groups, the central core of the book is geometrical crystallography.

The concepts of crystallography are introduced here in such a way that the physical properties of crystals, including their mechanical behaviour, can be better understood and quantified. A unique approach to the treatment of crystals and their defects is taken in that the often separate disciplines of crystallography, tensor analysis, elasticity and dislocation theory are combined in such a way as to equip materials scientists with knowledge of all the basic principles required to interpret data from their experiments. This is a revised and updated version of the widely acclaimed book by Kelly and Groves that was first published nearly thirty years ago. The material remains timely and relevant and the first edition still holds an unrivalled position at the core of the teaching of crystallography and crystal defects today. Undergraduate readers will acquire a rigorous grounding, from first principles, in the crystal classes and the concept of a lattice and its defects and their descriptions using vectors. Researchers will find here all the theorems of crystal structure upon which to base their work and the equations necessary for calculating interplanar spacings, transformation of indices and manipulations involving the stereographic projection and transformations of tensors and matrices.

Background information and review of this book

Basic Crystallography deals with the basic principles of geometrical crystallography which are introduced through the study of lattices, symmetry operations and the enumeration and construction of point groups and space groups. Stereographic projection is used to enable students to visualise crystallographic structures in real space.

The author devotes the second part of the book to X-ray crystallography, showing how different diffraction directions depend on the lattice and how spot intensities are related to the unit-cell. To give students an understanding of the principles of structural determination, the classical techniques of diffraction and methods of interpreting spectra are examined. To tackle the more challenging aspects of the subject, help is given to the student in the form of exercises with answers and a computer disk accompanies the book allowing readers to work through exercises and plot their own crystallographic data.

Written primarily for final year undergraduate students of physics, chemistry, materials science and geometry the book will also be useful for engineering students.

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. These are covered in chapters on crystal structure and methods of its determination, symmetry, crystallographic computing, X-ray diffraction, protein crystallography, and crystal physics.

". . . heartily recommended to every crystallographer, students of crystallography and other solid-state scientists."--Acta Crystallographica While there are many excellent treatises on crystallography, few of them offer adequate instruction on vector and tensor manipulations in general coordinate systems, and even fewer include the specific examples and applications that crystallographers need. This hardcover graduate-level text is the exception. It offers excellent coverage of vectors and tensors for crystallographers, students of crystallography and solid-state scientists who need proficiency in carrying out calculations in rectilinear coordinate systems. The emphasis is on crystallographic applications, but the methods developed are essential in any problems that pertain to nonorthogonal systems. Unabridged and corrected Dover republication of the edition published by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Reading, Mass., 1982. 30 black-and-white illustrations. Preface. Glossary of symbols. Index. Bibliography. Exercises and solutions
