Das Verständnis von Kristallstrukturen steht im Mittelpunkt der Materialwissenschaften, der Chemie und der Festkörperphysik. Die Kristallographie ermöglicht es, die atomare Organisation von Festkörpern zu bestimmen, während die Kristallchemie diese Organisation mit den physikalischen und chemischen Eigenschaften von Materialien in Verbindung bringt.Dieses Lehrbuch bietet einen sehr praktischen Zugang zu diesen beiden Disziplinen und führt den Leser von der Visualisierung und geometrischen Untersuchung von Kristallstrukturen bis hin zur Analyse ihrer Symmetrie, Morphologie und...

Understanding crystalline structures lies at the heart of materials science, chemistry and solid state physics. Crystallography determines the atomic organization of solids, while crystallochemistry links this organization to the physical and chemical properties of materials.This handbook offers a resolutely practical approach to both disciplines, guiding the reader from the visualization and geometric study of crystalline structures to the analysis of their symmetry, morphology and interatomic interactions. Combining clear theoretical reminders with detailed practical protocols, it enables...
