Publisher's Synopsis
Our knowledge of the structure of condensed matter has improved considerably in recent times. The advent of more powerful theoretical and experimental techniques than were formerly available has ensured that this remains a vigorous research area. The articles reprinted in this volume provide an overview of modern condensed matter structure physics. The were originally published in Journal of Physics C: Solid State Physics and are collated in one volume to give researchers a comprehensive understanding of current activities in their field. A M Stoneham has written an introduction which provides a background for the articles and the authors were given the opportunity to add new comments and references. The subjects covered are the structures of binary compounds, charge density waves in inorganic materials, spin-polarised low-energy electron diffraction. Grain boundaries in ionic crystals and semiconductors and the structure of liquids.
