One of the motivating questions in materials research today is, how can elements be combined to produce a solid with specified properties? This book describes established principles of crystallography and bonding that are needed to address the fundamental relationship between structure and cohesion in crystalline solids. Containing a large number of worked examples, exercises, and detailed descriptions of crystal structures, this book is primarily intended as a graduate level textbook for students of materials science. It will also be useful to scientists and engineers who work with solid materials.
