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.
Fully revised and updated, this book now includes:
- Original source references to key crystallographic terms familiar to
materials scientists
- Expanded discussion on the elasticity of cubic materials
- 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
- Additional content on dislocations in materials of symmetry lower than
cubic
- An expanded discussion of twinning which includes the description and
classification of growth twins
- The inclusion and explanation of results from atomistic modelling of
twin boundaries
- Problem sets with new questions, detailed worked solutions,
supplementary lecture material and online computer programs for
crystallographic calculations.
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.
