Highlights in Mineralogical Crystallography
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:
- An introduction to the RRUFF database for structural, spectroscopic, and chemical mineral identification.
- A systematic evaluation of structural complexity of minerals.
- ab initio computer modelling of mineral surfaces.
- Natural quasicrystals of meteoritic origin.
- The potential role of terrestrial ringwoodite on the water content of the Earth's mantle.
- Structural characterization of nanocrystalline bio-related minerals by electron-diffraction tomography.
- The uniqueness of mayenite-type compounds as minerals and high-tech ceramics.
Prof. Thomas Armbruster, University of Bern, Switzerland;
Dr. Rosa Micaela Danisi, University of Bern, Switzerland.
