"Highlights in Mineralogical Crystallography" presents a collection of review articles with the common topic: structural properties of minerals and synthetic analogues. It is a valuable resource for mineralogists, materials scientists, crystallographers, and earth scientists. This book includes: - An introduction to the RRUFF database for structural, spectroscopic, and chemical mineral identification. - A systematic evaluation of structural complexity of minerals. - ab initio computer modelling of mineral surfaces. - Natural quasicrystals of meteoritic origin. - The potential role of terrestrial ringwoodite on the water content of the Earth's mantle. - Structural characterization of nanocrystalline bio-related minerals by electron-diffraction tomography. - The uniqueness of mayenite-type compounds as minerals and high-tech ceramics.
