Crystallography and diffraction are widely used throughout science for studying structure. The aim of this book is to show, through relevant examples and without relying on complex mathematics, that the basic ideas behind crystallography and diffraction are simple and easily comprehensible.

A fresh approach to teaching crystallographic symmetry. Rather than being swamped by heavy algebraic notation, the reader is taken through a series of simple and beautiful examples from the visual arts, and taught how to analyse them employing the 'pictorial' diagrams used in the International Tables of Crystallography.

In the modern world of ever smaller devices and nanotechnology, electron crystallography emerges as the most important method capable of determining the structure of minute objects down to the size of individual atoms. Crystals of only a few millionths of a millimetre are studied. This is the first textbook explaining how this is done.

This book describes all aspects of the technique of small-angle scattering of X-rays and neutrons, including instrumentation, sample requirements, data interpretation and modelling methods, in a comprehensive way and gives examples of applications in various fields of biophysics and biochemistry.

Crystallography is a basic tool for scientists in many diverse disciplines. This book offers a clear description of fundamentals and of modern applications. It will support curricula in crystallography at undergraduate level, contains material for advanced and specialized courses, and offers tools and ideas for courses in other disciplines.

The purpose of this book is to explain why molecular structure can be determined by single-crystal diffraction of X rays. It is not an account of the practical procedural details, but rather an account of the underlying physical principles, and the kinds of experiments and methods of handling the experimental data that are used.

The book presents the basic information needed to understand and to organize the huge amount of known structures of crystalline solids. Its basis is crystallographic group theory (space group theory), with special emphasis on the relations between the symmetry properties of crystals.

A revised and updated English edition of a textbook based on teaching at the final year undergraduate and graduate level. It presents structure and bonding, generalizations of structural trends, crystallographic data, as well as highlights from the recent literature.

This text focuses on the practical aspects of crystal structure analysis and provides the necessary conceptual framework for understanding and applying the technique. Many worked examples, problems with answers, and illustrations are included throughout to reinforce the material presented. Significantly updated from the first edition.

The book describes phasing techniques in modern crystallography. The main text is dedicated to their simple description, and further mathematical details are contained in the appendices. Practical aspects are described for each specific method, making it a useful tool for the daily work of practising crystallographers.

Understanding the atomic structure of complex and time disordered materials relies upon computer simulations of these structures. This cook book provides a unique mixture of simulation know-how and hands on examples. All related files and the program DISCUS are included on a CDROM with the book.

This book is a mixture of textbook and tutorial. As Guide to SHELXL it covers advanced aspects of practical crystal structure refinement, which have not been addressed by textbooks so far. In each of the chapters the book gives examples, describing every problem in detail. It comes with a CD-ROM with all files necessary to reproduce the refinements.

Focuses on the practical aspects of crystal structure analysis and provides the necessary conceptual framework for understanding and applying the technique. This text also gives practical advice on topics such as growing crystals, solving and refining structures, and understanding and using the results.

Deals with the electron density distribution in molecules and solids as obtained experimentally by X-ray diffraction. This book is a comprehensive treatment of the methods involved, and the interpretation of the experimental results in terms of chemical bonding and intermolecular interactions.
