Crystallography and crystal defects (2nd Ed.)
Auteurs : Kelly Anthony, Knowles Kevin M.
Reinforcing its unrivalled position as the core text for teaching crystallography and crystal defects, each chapter includes problem sets with brief numerical solutions at the end of the book. Detailed worked solutions, supplementary lecture material and computer programs for crystallographic calculations are provided online ( and Crystal Defects, Second Edition is a valuable resource for senior undergraduate and graduate students of materials science, metallurgy, physics, chemistry, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering. It will also prove a useful and comprehensive reference source for advanced researchers.

Dr. Kevin Knowles is senior lecturer at Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge (UK). He received his DPhil at Oxon (UK) on aspects of the crystallography of martensitic transformations. Dr. Knowles has lectured and supervised a course on crystallography to third year undergraduates and he lectures and supervises a course on plasticity and deformation processing to undergraduates. The research interests of his group focus on the relationship between microstructure and the mechanical and electronic properties of engineering ceramics.
