tailieunhanh - RECENT ADVANCES IN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY

The advent of X-ray diffraction in the early twentieth century transformed crystallography from an area of scientific inquiry largely limited to physics, mineralogy, and mathematics, to a highly interdisciplinary field which now includes nearly all life and physical sciences as well as materials science and engineering. The atomic resolution structural information which is now routinely afforded by the combination of X-ray diffraction and crystallography is indispensable for the characterization of many modern materials, the interpretation of their function, and when applicable the rational improvement of their properties | RECENT ADVANCES IN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY Edited by Jason B.
