Crystallography and Crystal Defects

Więcej o książce

This revised edition presents a unified approach to crystallography and the defects within crystals, offering a clear explanation of modern concepts and their applications in analyzing point, line, and planar defects in crystalline materials. Key updates include original source references to essential crystallographic terms, an expanded discussion on the elasticity of cubic materials, and new content on texture with detailed coverage of Euler angles and orientation distribution functions. The book also delves into dislocations in materials with symmetry lower than cubic and provides an expanded discussion on twinning, including the classification of growth twins. Additionally, it incorporates results from atomistic modeling of twin boundaries. Problem sets feature new questions, detailed solutions, supplementary lecture materials, and online programs for crystallographic calculations. Authored by experienced lecturers, this edition remains a core text, serving as an essential resource for students and researchers in metallurgy, materials science, physics, chemistry, and various engineering disciplines.
