A Journey into Reciprocal Space: A Crystallographer's Perspective

$194.40

Report copyright infringementby A. M. Glazer (Author)The concept of reciprocal space is over 100 years old, and has been of particular use by crystallographers in order to understand the patterns of spots when x-rays are diffracted by crystals. However, it has a much more general use, especially in the physics of the solid state. In order to understand what it is, how to construct it and how to make use of it, it is first necessary to start with the so-called real or direct space and then sho...
