Description for Early Days of X-Ray Crystallography
The modern applications of X-ray crystallography range from drug design to characterization of high technology materials. This book tells the story of its pioneers and relates how the first crystal structures were determined. Num Pages: 464 pages, 203 b/w illustrations. BIC Classification: PDX; PNFS; PNT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 176 x 239 x 28. Weight in Grams: 1014.
2012 marked the centenary of one of the most significant discoveries of the early twentieth century, the discovery of X-ray diffraction (March 1912, by Laue, Friedrich, and Knipping) and of Bragg's law (November 1912). The discovery of X-ray diffraction confirmed the wave nature of X-rays and the space-lattice hypothesis. It had two major consequences: the analysis of the structure of atoms, and the determination of the atomic structure of materials. The momentous impact of the discovery in the fields of chemistry, physics, mineralogy, material science, biochemistry and biotechnology has been recognized by the General Assembly of the United Nations by ...
