Description
Book SynopsisInternational Tables for Crystallography is the definitive resource and reference work for crystallography and structural science.
Volume A1, an extension of and supplement to Volume A, presents a systematic treatment of the maximal subgroups and minimal supergroups of the crystallographic plane groups and space groups. The volume is divided into 3 parts:
Part 1: An introduction to the theory of space groups at various levels and with many examples.
Part 2: A complete listing of all maximal subgroups and minimal supergroups for each plane group and space group. Graphs that illustrate the group-subgroup relations are also presented.
Part 3: Lists the relations between the Wyckoff positions of every maximal subgroup of every space group, including the cell transformations and coordinate transformations.
New to the second edition of Volume A1:
A new chapter on building trees of group-subgroup relations for crystal s
