Fundamentals of Crystalline State and Crystal Lattice
摘要
The first five chapters of the book are dedicated to crystallographic symmetry, which is essential for understanding the formation of crystalline solids from atoms and molecules, and is therefore of utmost importance for grasping the principles of powder diffraction and its application to the characterization of crystal structures. Chapter One introduces the basic concepts of the crystalline state, the crystal lattice, and the unit cell, followed by the definition of crystallographic planes, directions, indices, and the reciprocal lattice.
