Highlights in Mineralogical Crystallography

Zusatztext

<p>"Highlights in Mineralogical Crystallography" presents a collection of review articles with the common topic: structural properties of minerals and synthetic analogues. It is a valuable resource for mineralogists, materials scientists, crystallographers, and earth scientists. This book includes:</p><ul><li>An introduction to the RRUFF database for structural, spectroscopic, and chemical mineral identification.</li><li>A systematic evaluation of structural complexity of minerals.</li><li><em>ab initio</em> computer modelling of mineral surfaces.</li><li>Natural quasicrystals of meteoritic origin.</li><li>The potential role of terrestrial ringwoodite on the water content of the Earth's mantle.</li><li>Structural characterization of nanocrystalline bio-related minerals by electron-diffraction tomography.</li><li>The uniqueness of mayenite-type compounds as minerals and high-tech ceramics.</li></ul>
