Features: This book is divided into 10 chapters, with the main content including: macroscopic symmetry of crystals; crystal orientation and crystalline symbols; single crystals and polycrystals; morphology and regular intergrowths of actual crystals; constant angles between crystal faces and projection; basic principles of crystal growth; geometric theory of crystal structure; fundamentals of crystal chemistry; crystal structure. Tailored to the characteristics of the disciplines of inorganic non-metallic materials science and engineering, mineral materials, and gemology, this textbook primarily focuses on geometric crystallography and crystal chemistry. It emphasizes the introduction of fundamental concepts and theories in the geometric theory of crystal structure and crystal growth. Finally, it introduces common typical crystal structures. This book can serve as a textbook for inorganic non-metallic materials science and engineering, mineral materials, gemology, and other related disciplines, as well as a reference for researchers and educators working in these fields.
