{"product_id":"optically-anomalous-crystals-alexander-shtukenberg-9781402052873","title":"Optically Anomalous Crystals","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book opens with an historical introduction covering the contributions of Brewster, Biot, Mallard, Brauns, Tamman, and many other distinguished crystallographers. From this follows a tutorial in crystal optics. Further chapters discuss the two main mechanisms of optical dissymmetry: The piezo-optic effect, and The kinetic ordering of atoms. The text then tackles complex, inhomogeneous crystals, and the complex optical properties resulting from the superposition of anomalies having various etiologies. The book treats the literature comprehensively, but uses illustrations from the authors' laboratories as the subjects of detailed analyses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an invaluable text for crystallographers, mineralogists, and petrologists interested in the growth of minerals and synthetic crystals, and their optical properties. It is also ideally suited to students of optical mineralogy, professional scientists and engineers as well as historians of science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Shtukenberg,Yurii Punin,Bart Kahr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1402052871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781402052873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Alexander Shtukenberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485081317631,"sku":"9781402052873","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57af409e-707b-40f6-938a-0d7571d34635.jpg?v=1778047778","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/optically-anomalous-crystals-alexander-shtukenberg-9781402052873","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
