Features: This book is a systematic textbook on the fundamental theories of crystallography, divided into 11 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces crystals and related concepts; Chapter 2 covers crystal projections and the Wulff net; Chapters 3-7 systematically discuss the macroscopic symmetry of crystals, crystallographic symbols, ideal forms, regular twinning, as well as the microscopic symmetry and space groups within crystals. Chapter 8 discusses the expression of crystal structures and related basic principles. Chapters 9 and 10 introduce the fundamentals of crystal chemistry and crystal physics. Chapter 11 covers the formation and defects of crystals. Each chapter includes review questions, and brief answers are provided in the appendix. Additionally, this book includes an experimental guide. It can serve as a textbook and teaching reference for university students in geology, physics, chemistry, materials, metallurgy, and related disciplines, as well as a reference for researchers in these fields.
