  • Crystal Clear

    The Autobiographies of Sir Lawrence and Lady Bragg

    Edited by A.M. Glazer, Patience Thomson ...
    Crystal Clear takes you behind the scenes in the life of one of the most prominent scientists of the twentieth century, William Lawrence Bragg (WLB) - an innovative genius, who together with his father, William Henry Bragg (WHB) founded and developed a whole new branch of science, X-ray Crystallography. The main body of the text contains the hitherto unpublished autobiographies of both WLB and his ... Read more

  • Early Days of X-ray Crystallography

    by André Authier ...
    The year 2012 marked the centenary of one of the most significant discoveries of the early twentieth century, the discovery of X-ray diffraction (March 1912, by Laue, Friedrich and Knipping) and of Bragg's law (November 1912). The discovery of X-ray diffraction confirmed the wave nature of X-rays and the space-lattice hypothesis. It had two major consequences: the analysis of the structure of ... Read more

  • The Nature of the Hydrogen Bond

    Outline of a Comprehensive Hydrogen Bond Theory

    by Gastone Gilli, Paola Gilli ...
    Series Book 23 - International Union of Crystallography Monographs on Crystallography
    Hydrogen bond (H-bond) effects are known: it makes sea water liquid, joins cellulose microfibrils in trees, shapes DNA into genes and polypeptide chains into wool, hair, muscles or enzymes. Its true nature is less known and we may still wonder why O-H...O bond energies range from less than 1 to more than 30 kcal/mol without apparent reason. This H-bond puzzle is re-examined here from its very ... Read more

  • Group Theory Applied to Chemistry

    by Arnout Jozef Ceulemans ...
    Series series Chemistry and Material Science (R0)
    Chemists are used to the operational definition of symmetry, which crystallographers introduced long before the advent of quantum mechanics. The ball-and-stick models of molecules naturally exhibit the symmetrical properties of macroscopic objects. However, the practitioner of quantum chemistry and molecular modeling is not concerned with balls and sticks, but with subatomic particles: nuclei and ... Read more

  • From Strange Simplicity to Complex Familiarity

    A Treatise on Matter, Information, Life and Thought

    by Manfred Eigen ...
    This book presents a vivid argument for the almost lost idea of a unity of all natural sciences. It starts with the "strange" physics of matter, including particle physics, atomic physics and quantum mechanics, cosmology, relativity and their consequences (Chapter I), and it continues by describing the properties of material systems that are best understood by statistical and phase-space concepts ...

  • Thermodynamics of Crystalline States

    by Minoru Fujimoto ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Originated from studies on steam engines, thermodynamics is formulated traditi- ally for homogeneous materials. Applying to condensed matters however, laws of thermodynamics have to be evaluated with respect to the structural detail. Foll- ing after Kirkwood’s chemical thermodynamics, the author’s attempt is to discuss lattice dynamics in crystalline states in light of the traditional laws. It is ... Read more

  • Thermodynamics of Crystalline States

    by Minoru Fujimoto ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Thermodynamics is a well-established discipline of physics for properties of matter in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings. Applying to crystals, however, the laws encounter undefined properties of crystal lattice, which therefore need to be determined for a clear and well-defined description of crystalline states. Thermodynamics of Crystalline States explores the roles played by order ... Read more
