- Used Book in Good Condition
Early in this century, the newly discovered x-ray diffraction by crystals made a complete change in crystallography and in the whole science of the atomic structure of matter, thus giving a new impetus to the development of solid-state physics. Crystallographic methods, priÂ marily x-ray diffraction analysis, penetrated into materials sciences, molÂ ecular physics, and chemistry, and also into many other branches of science. Later, electron and neutron diffraction structure analyses beÂ came important since they not only complement x-ray data, but also supply new information on the atomic and the real structure of crystals. Electron microscopy and other modern methods of investigating matÂ ter-optical, electronic paramagnetic, nuclear magnetic, and other resÂ onance techniques-yield a large amount of information on the atomic, electronic, and real crystal structures. Crystal physics has also undergone vigorous development. Many reÂ markable phenomena have been discovered in crystals and then found various practical applications. Other important factors promoting the development of crystallogÂ raphy were the elaboration of the theory of crystal growth (which brought crystallography closer to thermodynamics and physical chemÂ istry) and the development of the various methods of growing synthetic crystals dictated by practical needs. Man-made crystals became increasÂ ingly important for physical investigations, and they rapidly invaded technology. The production . of synthetic crystals made a tremendous impact on the traditional branches: the mechanical treatment of mateÂ rials, precision instrument making, and the jewelry industry.
