Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Man's first experience with the ordered state of matter to which we now apply the generic term 'crystals' came about when he found specimens of some of the natural crystalline mineral substances that are re latively common in the surface and near-surface areas of the earth's crust. His first widespread use of these natural materials in which their crystalline nature was of importance was undoubtedly in fabricating jewelry and otherwise adorning his weapons, tools, and household items. Both the Old and New Testa ments of the Bible document the use of crystalline gems, and the Romans are credited with first employing diamonds-a metastable crystalline form of carbon-in jewelry. Various civilizations appear to have ascribed magical powers to some natural crystals, and they are known to have been widely accepted in Europe as having medicinal properties during the Middle Ages. Given early man's appreciation of the symmetry and beauty of natural crystals, it is not surprising that his earliest interest in working with these materials appears to have been directed toward techniques for duplicating or manufacturing these sub stances that were so highly valued as gems. Although the exact beginning of the science that we now know as 'crystal growth' cannot be precisely specified, we do know that Robert Boyle had attempted to grow crystals that could be used as gems prior to 1672. Much later, in 1873, M. A.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Coverage This bibliography of over 5000 references is restricted to the crystal growth of inorganic materials and is largely drawn from the literature collection of the Research Materials Information Center, although other sources were used in the attempt to attain (an always unattainable) completeness. It includes theoretical, review, and experimental, or 'recipe,' papers, technical reports, and books. The period covered is from 1972 through 1977, with several hundred more recent and earlier references, for var ious reasons, added. (I nformation on specific materials not I isted may be requested from R M C. ) I The coverage of epitaxy presented a problem, since authors do not always make it clear whether or not the epitaxial growth described resulted in single or polycrystalline structures. Papers are of course included where single crystallinity was claimed or illustrated by a definite electron diffraction pattern. Stated attempts to grow single crystals, even when failures, are included. As for the many where a decision could not be made, exclusion was the general rule. Theoretical and review papers are included. Two books, ofthe many good books on crystal growth, are essential complements to this bibliography: The Chemistry of Imperfect Crystals, 2nd Revised Edition. Volume 1, Preparation, Purification, Crystal Growth and Phase Theory Kroger, F. A. North-Holland Publishing Company, Amsterdam-London; American Elsevier Publishing Company, Inc. , New York (1973) (Includes an extensive tabulation of crystals grown by a variety of methods, with over 1100 references for the table alone. ) Crystal Growth Wilke, K. -T.…
