The modern applications of X-ray crystallography range from drug design to characterisation of high technology materials. This book tells the story of its pioneers and relates how the first crystal structures were determined.
"2012 marked the centenary of one of the most significant discoveries of the early twentieth century, the discovery of X-ray diffraction (March 1912, by Laue, Friedrich, and Knipping) and of Bragg's law (November 1912). The discovery of X-ray diffraction confirmed the wave natur…
This book presents the discovery of x-ray technology, the early days of x-ray crystallography, and the way the news of the discovery spread round the world.
The modern applications of X-ray crystallography range from drug design to characterisation of high technology materials. This book tells the story of its pioneers and relates how the first crystal structures were determined.
'International Tables for Crystallography' is the definitive resource and reference work for crystallography and structural science. Volume D is concerned with the influence of symmetry on the physical and tensor properties of crystals and on their structural phase transitions. …
