This comprehensively revised - essentially rewritten - new edition of the 1990 edition (described as "extremely useful" by MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS and as "understandable and comprehensive" by Scitech) guides readers through the dense array of mathematical information in the International Tables Volume A. Thus, most scientists seeking to understand a crystal structure publication can do this from this book without necessarily having to consult the International Tables themselves. This remains the only book aimed at non-crystallographers devoted to teaching them about crystallographic space groups.

Zielgruppe

<p>Designed for active research scientists who need to understand the crystallographic literature. Covers physicists, chemists, engineers, materials scientists, biologists. Written for those who are at graduate level and above.</p>

1. Historical Introduction to Space Groups2. Symmetry Operations3. Crystal systems4. Lattices5. Crystallographic Point Groups6. Space Groups7. Some Uses of Space groups8. Normalisers9. Space Groups and their Subgroups (from new volume A1 of the IT)10. Applications (mainly related to phase transitions)11. Advanced symmetry groups: frieze rod and layer groups, since these have applications in the newly growing area of the symmetries of surfaces and thin films, and in symmetry of domain walls in crystals.
