Symmetry relationships between crystal structures : applications of crystallographic group theory in crystal chemistry

In crystal chemistry and crystal physics, the relations between the symmetry groups (space groups) of crystalline solids are of special importance. Part 1 of this book presents the necessary mathematical foundations and tools: the fundamentals of crystallography with special emphasis on symmetry, the theory of the crystallographic groups, and the formalisms of the needed crystallographic computations. Part 2 gives an insight into applications to problems in crystal chemistry. Withthe aid of numerous examples, it is shown how crystallographic group theory can be used to make evident relationshi.
