商品描述

The third edition of Foundations of Crystallography with Computer Applications is a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students studying the solid state in chemistry, physics, materials science, geological sciences, and engineering. It takes a straightforward, logical approach to explaining how atoms are arranged in crystals and how crystal systems are related to each other. New to this edition is the inclusion of interactive Starter Programs in Python, which allow the students to focus on concepts and not treat crystallographic programs as "black boxes."

Since many students have trouble visualizing three dimensional constructions, this book begins with detailed discussions in two dimensions leading up to the three-dimensional understanding. The first seven chapters introduce the fundamental principles, Chapter 8 suggests student projects, and the final seven chapters give detailed examples of the seven crystal systems.

Key features:

  • Uses Python, the leading open-source scientific language, with libraries including NumPy for matrix manipulations, Matplotlib for graphics, and Mplot3d for interactive 3-D modeling. Provides a gentle introduction to Python with Jupyter Notebooks, which combine interactive code and formatted documentation.
  • Color codes both point group and space group diagrams using a new scheme devised by the author to emphasize the change of handedness of the symmetry operations and their consequences.
  • Suggests student projects with data that can be found in the free Teaching Subset of the Cambridge Structural Database, the American Mineralogist Crystal Structure Database, and others.

This book's thorough but accessible style gives students a strong foundation in the subject. Over one thousand students have successfully used this book at Virginia Tech, and many more will continue to benefit from this new edition.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

第三版的《晶體學基礎與計算機應用》是一本針對本科生和研究生的教科書，適合學習化學、物理、材料科學、地質科學和工程學的固態相關課程。它以簡單明瞭的邏輯方式解釋原子在晶體中的排列以及晶體系統之間的關係。本版新增了互動式的Python入門程式，讓學生能專注於概念，而不將晶體學程式視為「黑箱」。

由於許多學生在視覺化三維結構方面存在困難，本書從詳細的二維討論開始，逐步引導至三維理解。前七章介紹基本原則，第八章建議學生專案，最後七章則提供七種晶體系統的詳細範例。

主要特色：
- 使用Python這一領先的開源科學語言，並包含NumPy進行矩陣操作、Matplotlib進行圖形繪製，以及Mplot3d進行互動式三維建模。提供對Python的溫和介紹，並使用Jupyter Notebooks結合互動式代碼和格式化文檔。
- 使用作者設計的新方案為點群和空間群圖表上色，以強調對稱操作的手性變化及其後果。
- 建議學生專案，數據可在劍橋結構數據庫的免費教學子集、美國礦物學家晶體結構數據庫等處找到。

本書徹底而易於理解的風格為學生提供了堅實的基礎。已有超過一千名學生在維吉尼亞理工大學成功使用本書，未來還會有更多學生從這一新版中受益。
