Crystallization Science and Technology
Marcello Andreeta has compiled a comprehensive book on crystallization processes blending the fundamental concepts and practical insights it contains. It is intended for researchers from various disciplines such that it not only covers the scientific principles underlying crystallization but also presents new aspects of the subject. The text may thus be used as an overall reference as well as an introductory guide and, therefore, will be accessible for readers with different levels of knowledge. Through recent breakthroughs and applications in crystallization science, this book assembles the necessary knowledge and tools that readers may deploy in charting critical areas of this field in materials science. The approaches taken are, therefore interdisciplinary in nature, relevant both in academic and in industrial contexts where efforts to collaborate and innovate in crystallization research would improve much faster.

Crystal Structure Analysis Lecture Notes
Lecture notes by Dr. Peter Mueller on crystal structure analysis through X-ray diffraction techniques include key topics like principles of symmetry and space groups, geometry of diffraction, and computation of structure factors. The lecture goes on to discuss problems such as the phase problem and direct and Patterson techniques to solve it. It also encompasses electron density maps and refinement of structures. Practical issues like growing good-quality crystals and powder diffraction methods are addressed, besides the limitations of X-ray diffraction. The notes are a treasure trove of knowledge on the basics of crystallography and its applications combined with insight into structure databases.
