Incommensurate Crystallography

Zusatztext There is a need for a self-contained book on the structure analysis of incommensurate crystals. Potential readers of such a book would be all who are involved in structure analysis of aperiodic crystals plus solid state chemists and physicists. Informationen zum Autor Professor Sander Van Smaalen, Laboratory of Crystallography, University of Bayreuth, Germany. Klappentext This book fully describes the structures and symmetries of incommensurately modulated crystals and composite crystals. It provides a complete presentation of crystallographic methods of structural analysis in incommensurate crystals, providing the necessary background for a skilled application of superspace methods to aperiodic crystals.
