Description

This textbook provides a concise introduction to modern crystal structure determination, emphasizing both the crystallographic background and the successive practical steps. In the theoretical sections, more importance is attached to a good understanding, assisted by many figures, than to a rigorous mathematical treatment. The most important measuring techniques, including the use of modern area detectors, and the methods of data reduction, structure solution and refinement are discussed from a practical point of view. A special emphasis is put on the ability to recognize and avoid possible errors and traps, and to judge the quality of results.
