How can elements be combined to produce a solid with specified properties? This book acquaints readers with the established principles of crystallography and cohesive forces needed to address the fundamental relationship among composition, structure and bonding. Starting with an introduction to periodic trends, the book discusses crystal structures and the various primary and secondary bonding types, and finishes by describing a number of models for predicting phase stability and structure. Its large number of worked examples, exercises, and detailed descriptions of numerous crystal structures make this an outstanding advanced undergraduate or graduate-level textbook for students of materials science.

Review
'... a remarkably pointed example of how times have changed. The real strengths of the book are its depth of coverage, bridging advanced undergraduate and postgraduate work, and its material-based approach.' Joan Halfpenny, Chemistry of Britain
'... an approach to the subject of structure and bonding in crystalline solids ... can be recommended for everyone concerned with crystalline solids in the broadest sense, as a useful compendium and handbook of long-lasting value.' Peter Kroll, Angewandte Chemie

Book Description
One of the motivating questions in materials research today is, how can elements be combined to produce a solid with specified properties? This book describes established principles of crystallography and bonding that are needed to address the fundamental relationship between structure and cohesion in crystalline solids. Containing a large number of worked examples, exercises, and detailed descriptions of crystal structures, this book is primarily intended as a graduate level textbook for students of materials science. It will also be useful to scientists and engineers who work with solid materials.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book,
This review is from: Structure and Bonding in Crystalline Materials (Paperback)
Great source of information for bonding. I used it in a graduate introductory materails science class and found the chapters on bonding to be very helpful in understanding the concepts. Did not look too much into crystal structures.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,

This review is from: Structure and Bonding in Crystalline Materials (Paperback)
Surprisingly useful and good book! I have low expectations of books that look like this, and of college 2nd year textbooks (After you stop using the pretty ones that were also used in high school AP classes). This book is not in color, but I love the organization and the simple yet detailed explanations. It has an index which is awesome. I love reading this textbook. (compared to the x-ray diffraction by cullity textbook that is also required for my Materials Science class on Atomic Structure). Everything is written in an understandable way. I suck at chemistry and haven't taken it for 2years but this book was great for me.

Great Condition, Order it fast,
This review is from: Structure and Bonding in Crystalline Materials (Paperback)
The book came in great condition. However, if you need it for a class, you better order it after the first day of class, because it took a looooong time to get to me and other people in the class.
