Part 1 presents the reader with an account of structure-factor formalisms, anextensive treatment of the theory, algorithms and crystallographic applications of Fourier methods, and fundamental as well as advanced treatments of symmetry in reciprocal space. In Part 2, these general accounts are followed by detailed expositions of crystallographic statistics, the theory of direct methods, Patterson techniques, isomorphous replacement and anomalous scattering, and treatments of the role of electron microscopy and diffraction in crystal structure determination, including applications of direct methods to electron crystallography. Part 3 deals with applications of reciprocal space to molecular geometry and 'best'-plane calculations, and contains a treatment of the principles of molecular graphics and modelling and their applications. A convergence-acceleration method of importance in the computation of approximate lattice sums is presented and the part concludes with a discussion of the Ewald method. Seven new authors have contributed to the third edition of Volume B A new chapter on modern extensions of the Ewald method for Coulomb interactions in crystals is included in Part 3 The chapters on space-group representations in reciprocal space, direct methods, Patterson and molecular replacement techniques, and disorder diffuse scattering have been substantially revised and a further six chapters have been updated INDICE: From the contents Part 1: General Relationships And Techniques. Part 2: Reciprocal Space In Crystal-Structure Determination. Part 3: Dual Bases In Crystallographic Computing. Part 4: Diffuse Scattering And Related Topics. Part 5: Dynamical Theory And Its Applications. Author Index. Subject Index.
