Sommario/riassunto

The book is a detailed but concise exposition of crystal structure determination at a graduate level. Discussions range from geometrical principles of crystallography, through relevant experimental methods, to techniques of reliable and accurate determination of crystal structures. - ;This concise book is for chemists, material scientists, and physicists who deal with description of crystalline matter and the determination of its structure, and would like to gain more understanding of the principles involved. The main purpose of the book is to introduce the reader to principles of crystallogra
