Over 140 color photos, diagrams, and text reveal the crystal structures, habits, names, and changing family relationships of silicate crystals. This thorough guide provides an introduction to crystallography, the current classification of silicate structures, and reviews orthosilicates, disilicates, chain silicates, sheet silicates, and framework silicates. Explore different ways the silicate tetrahedron can be arranged and great diversity of structures that result. Crystal structure is presented with drawings of ideal crystal forms and photographs of real crystals. In this way, mineral collectors can better understand the interplay between atomic arrangements and external habits, and ultimately develop an eye for recognizing crystal symmetry. This book is a must for all serious collectors of minerals.

Data on the elastic properties of single crystals has increased dramatically since Professor Simmons completed his first book in 1965. While this book is a consolidation of his earlier work, it has been extensively updated and revised to include new material and references, is far more complete, and is presented in a more useful form. This is actually a handbook consisting of computer printout in tabular format. It presents data on the elastic properties of single crystals collected from the literature through mid-1970 and the elastic properties of isotropic aggregates which are calculated according to the schemes of Voigt and Reuss for all materials, and Hashin and Shtrikman for materials with cubic symmetry. The tables include about 3000 determinations. At present it is impossible to calculate the elastic properties of a random, macroscopically isotropic aggregate of crystals from the single crystal elastic constants, but bounds may be obtained for the aggregate properties from the single crystal constants. Accordingly the book tabulates the Voigt and Reuss averages for all materials for which single crystal data has been reported. Hashin and Shtrikman have shown that the Voigt and Reuss bounds could be improved, and they have developed expressions for the corresponding bounds of aggregates of cubic crystals. In this book all four bounds (Voigt, Hashin, Shtrikman, and Reuss) are tabulated for cubic materials while Voigt and Reuss bounds only are tabulated for non-cubic materials. The elastic properties of aggregates are those in common use and include Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ration, bulk modulus, compressibility, velocity of compressional waves, and the velocity of shear waves. Although any two of these properties suffice to uniquely characterize a given material, all are tabulated because different sets are best suited for different uses.

Heterocyclic compounds are of prime importance to organic chemists working in the chemical industry, and heterocyclic chemistry is therefore a fundamental topic in undergraduate chemistry courses. The emphasis of this short text is on synthetic aspects, rather than properties, and it covers the essential details and basic principles with reference to all the important classes of heterocyclic compounds. Instructional problems are included as an aid to comprehension, and references to more detailed texts are provided.

In a uniform and comprehensive manner the authors describe all the important aspects of the epitaxial growth processes of solid films on crystalline substrates, e.g. processes in which atoms of the growing film mimic the arrangement of the atoms of the substrate. Emphasis is put on sufficiently fundamental and unequivocal presentation of the subject in the form of an easy-to-read review. A large part of this book focuses on the problems of heteroepitaxy. The most important epitaxial growth techniques which are currently widely used in basic research as well as in manufacturing processes of devices are presented and discussed in detail.

This book describes the chemical and physical structure of molecular crystals, their optical and electronic properties, and the reactions between neighboring molecules in crystals. In the second edition, the author has taken into account research that has undergone extremely rapid development since the first edition was published in 1987. For instance, he gives extensive coverage to the applications of molecular materials in high-technology devices (e.g. optical communications, laser printers, photocopiers, liquid crystal displays, solar cells, and more). There is also an entirely new chapter on the recently discovered Buckminsterfullerene carbon molecule (C60) and organic non-linear optic materials.

Since the first publication of this definitive work nearly 40 years ago, this fourth edition has been completely rewritten. Crystallization is used at some stage in nearly all process industries as a method of production, purification or recovery of solid materials. Incorporating all the recent developments and applications of crystallization technology, Crystallization gives clear accounts of the underlying principles, a review of the past and current research themes and guidelines for equipment and process design. This new edition introduces and enlarges upon such subjects as:· Control and Separation of polymorphs and chiral crystals· Micro- and macro-mixing and the use of computer fluid dynamics· Seeding and secondary nucleation in batch crystallization processes· Incorporation of upstream and downstream requirements into design procedures for crystallization plant· Computer-aided molecular design and its use in crystal habit modifier selectionCrystallization provides a comprehensive overview of the subject and will prove invaluable to all chemical engineers and industrial chemists in the process industries as well as crystallization workers and students in industry and academia.Crystallization is written with the precision and clarity of style that is John Mullin's hallmark - a special feature being the large number of appendices that provide relevant physical property data. Covers all new developments and trends in crystallization.Comprehensive coverage of subject area.

Designed as an introduction to solid-state and condensed-matter physics, this textbook is ideal for one-semester graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in materials science. The new third edition includes a chapter on the properties of amorphous solids, and discusses recent progress in such areas as basic crystal structure, superconductivity, diffraction, defects, dislocations, specific heat, phonons, thermal and electrical conductivities, and the field of solid-state studies. Many textual changes have been made to clarify certain points and short sections have been added on low-dimensional semiconducting structures and on magnetic materials. Extra problems have been added and answers to all problems are provided. The presentation is direct and to-the-point, proceeding straight to the core topics in the field.
