These volumes, dedicated to pioneers of the study of kimberlites, diamond and the upper mantle, summarise the results of the most recent work in these fields of research. The 86 papers included in these volumes were presented at the 8th International Kimberlite Conference held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in June 2003.Only available as two-volume set.

The bulk single crystals of semiconductors (e.g. Si, GaAs) and oxides which are at present commercially produced have mostly non-uniform properties in the microscale (e.g. doping striations) and in the macroscale (longitudinal and lateral segregation). Such inhomogeneities are deleterious for the performance of the devices produced from these crystals. This book gives a review of the various origins of inhomogeneities occuring during crystal growth. It is shown that convection is the major source of the non-uniformities in the technically used growth configurations, e.g. Czochralski-, zone- and Bridgman-methods, because the growth rate is controlled by the heat transport. The formalism of hydrodynamics, especially dimensionless numbers, is used for a modeling of melt growth, giving a correlation between the occurrence of inhomogeneities and relevant growth parameters. The results of the theoretical and experimental modeling are found to correlate with results of real crystal growth, especially for cases of dominating buoyancy convection. Various measures in avoiding inhomogeneities are derived from the models and are discussed with respect to their efficiency and practical applicability.

Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume.

The International Tables for Crystallography are jointly published with the International Union of Crystallography. Each print volume can be purchased individually. In addition the complete set of Vol A-G is available both in print and online (see right hand column). Volume A1 presents a systematic treatment of the maximal subgroups and minimal supergroups of the crystallographic plane groups and space groups. It is an extension of and a supplement to Volume A, Space-group symmetry, in which only basic data for sub- and supergroups are provided. Volume A1 consists of three parts. Part 1 presents an introduction to the theory of space groups at various levels and with many examples. It includes a chapter on the mathematical theory of subgroups. Part 2 gives for each plane group and space group a complete listing of all maximal subgroups and minimal supergroups. The treatment includes the generators of each subgroup as well as any necessary changes of the coordinate system. Maximal isomorphic subgroups are given in parameterized form as infinite series because of the infinite number for each group. Graphs that illustrate the group-subgroup relations are also presented. Part 3 lists the relations between the Wyckoff positions of every space group and its subgroups. Again, the infinite number of maximal isomorphic subgroups of each space group are covered by parameterized series. Volume A1 is a valuable resource for scientists engaged in crystal-structure determination, crystal physics or crystal chemistry. It is essential for those interested in phase transitions, the systematic compilation of crystal structures, twinning phenomena and related fields of crystallographic research.

Interesting and new specific results of current theoretical and experimental work in various fields at the frontier of particle scattering and X-ray diffraction are reviewed in this volume. Special emphasis is placed on the study of the microstructure of solids, crystals and liquids, both classically and quantum mechanically. This gives the reader essential insights into the dynamics and properties of these states of matter. The authors address students interested in the physics of quantum solids, crystallography and material science as well as physical chemistry and computational physics.
