New Geometries for New Materials

Klappentext This 2006 book presents the geometrical ideas of structure at the atomic level. Zusammenfassung This 2006 book presents the geometrical ideas of structure at the atomic level that are being developed and integrated into materials science. Emphasis is placed on the intuitive understanding of geometrical principles through illustrations not detailed computation. This book will appeal to those working in crystallography! solid-state science and materials science. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introduction; 2. 2D Tilings; 3. 3D Tilings; 4.
