Aimed at young research students, this book emphasizes simple expression and a minimum of mathematical analysis. Stressing underlying physical ideas, it encompasses a wide range of topics: elastic properties of crystals, elastic spectra, static distortions of lattices, more. Realistic problems permit students to carry out analysis of experimental data. 1962 edition.

Thermodynamics of Crystals by Duane C. Wallace Self-contained treatment focuses on the solution of lattice-dynamics problems, calculations of total crystal potential, evaluation of thermodynamic functions. Only modest background in quantum mechanics, solid state physics required.
X-Ray Diffraction by B. E. Warren Rigorous graduate-level text stresses modern applications to nonstructural problems such as temperature vibration effects, order-disorder phenomena, crystal imperfections, more. Problems. Six Appendixes include tables of values. Bibliographies.
X-Ray Diffraction: In Crystals, Imperfect Crystals, and Amorphous Bodies by A. Guinier Exploration of fundamentals of x-ray diffraction theory using Fourier transforms applies general results to various atomic structures, amorphous bodies, crystals, and imperfect crystals. 154 illustrations. 1963 edition.
