Crystallography and Crystal Defects

Extensively revised and updated, this new edition of a classic text presents a unified approach to crystallography and to the defects found within crystals. The book combines the classical and exact description of symmetry of a perfect crystal with the possible geometries of the major defects-dislocations, stacking faults, point defects, twins, interfaces and the effects of martensitic transformations. A number of important concepts and exciting new topics have been introduced in this second edition, including piezoelectricity, liquid crystals, nanocrystalline concepts, incommensurate materials and the structure of foamed and amorphous solids. The coverage of quasicrystalline materials has been extended, and the data tables, appendices and references have been fully updated. 
Reinforcing its unrivalled position as the core text for teaching crystallography and crystal defects, each chapter includes problem sets with brief numerical solutions at the end of the book. Detailed worked solutions, supplementary lecture material and computer programs for crystallographic calculations are provided online (http://booksupport.wiley.com).

The classic book that presents a unified approach to crystallography and the defects found within crystals, revised and updated This new edition of Crystallography and Crystal Defects explains the modern concepts of crystallography in a clear, succinct manner and shows how to apply these concepts in the analyses of point, line and planar defects in crystalline materials, quasicrystals and crystal interfaces. Fully revised and updated, this book now includes: <ul>
<li>Original source references to key crystallographic terms familiar to materials scientists</li> <li>Expanded discussion on the elasticity of cubic materials</li> <li>New content on texture that contains more detail on Euler angles, orientation distribution functions and an expanded discussion on examples of textures in engineering materials</li> <li>Additional content on dislocations in materials of symmetry lower than cubic</li> <li>An expanded discussion of twinning which includes the description and classification of growth twins</li> <li>The inclusion and explanation of results from atomistic modelling of twin boundaries</li> <li>Problem sets with new questions, detailed worked solutions, supplementary lecture material and online computer programs for crystallographic calculations.</li> </ul>
Written by authors with extensive lecturing experience at undergraduate level, Crystallography and Crystal Defects, Third Edition continues to take its place as the core text on the topic and provides the essential resource for students and researchers in metallurgy, materials science, physics, chemistry, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering.
