About this book

International Tables for Crystallography Volume D: Physical Properties of Crystals is concerned with the influence of symmetry on the physical and tensor properties of crystals and on their structural phase transitions. This role is very important in many different disciplines of the science of materials such as crystallography, elasticity, solid-state physics, magnetism, optics, ferroelectricity and mineralogy.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"...As the series title implies, the volumes contain many useful tables, but they also comprise comprehensive explanatory chapters. The present tome brings together the widest ranging and latest crystallographic information, distilled by 28 international experts (from 9 different countries). Terry Willis originally proposed the idea for this volume and André Authier has skilfully orchestrated the whole project. The high standard of the IUCr has been maintained: the book is beautifully produced, together with fine illustrations, some in colour, and numerous references to the extensive literature; and it is supported by a CD-ROM with a further 140 pages of explanation (including, amongst other things, algebraic details of groups and subgroups) as well as useful software. Crystallographers, materials scientists, mineralogists and solid-state physicists will all welcome this up-to-date, handsome and most distinguished reference book."
(M. Moore (Crystallography News, No. 90)
