Summary:

Hermann (physics, Free U., Berlin) provides students and researchers with the foundations of crystallography necessary to understand the geometry and symmetry of surfaces and interfaces of crystalline materials--both macroscopic single crystals and crystalline nanoparticles. Knowing the surface geometry is important in studies of properties near single crystal surfaces, and research on thin films at solid substrates. He is a theoretical surface scientist, he says, so his account differs somewhat from conventional crystallography. He covers bulk crystals as three-dimensional lattices, crystal layers as two-dimensional lattices, ideal single-crystal surfaces, real crystal surfaces, adsorbate layers, the experimental analysis of real crystal surfaces, and nanotubes.
