Structure and Bonding in Crystalline Materials: Errata





Structure and Bonding in Crystalline Materials

The following is a list of errors that that I've found so far. If you find others, please let me know so I can post them here. My contact information is on my home page

Page 39, Figure 2.12. The way the monoclinic C lattice is drawn, it should have been labeled Monoclinic B.

Page 54, Figure 2.25(b). In the label for the reciprocal lattice vector a*, the denominator should be d100.

Page 57, Equation 2.17. In the (1,1) position of the 3 x 3 matrix, it should be a2 rather than alpha2.

On p. 90, in equation 3.1, the right hand sides of the matrix equations have been misplaced. The result from the first rotation is the vector [-y, x, z], the second rotation is correct, and the result from the third rotation is the vector [y, -x, z]

On p. 93, line 9, "produce B' and the" should read "produce B'' and the"

On p. 108, line 13, there is a discussion of diamond glide. It says "In tetragonal and cubic groups, the translation component is a/4 + b/4 + c/4." This is not exactly true. For the cases where the glide mirror plane is oriented along the [100] direction, the translation is a/4 + b/4, or the appropriate permutation for the equivalent axes. This is the case for space groups 203 (Fdbar3), 227 (Fdbar3m), and 228 (Fdbar3c)

On p. 112, line 3, The third coordinate is missing in the ordered set at the beginning of the line. It should be "bar-z"

On p. 154, bottom of the second paragraph in section v., there is a misleading statement. It says, "adjacent framework atoms should be separated by less than two atomic radii ..." It would be better to say, "The distance between framework atoms should not be large enough to accommodate another atom of the same type ...

On p. 154, first line of section 6, "example a" should read "example of a"

p. 176, Fig. 4.25. The oxygen positions are not consistent with Table 3B.3

p. 208, Eq. 5.10. the term on the RHS, hk, should be hx.

p. 236, Eq. 5.55. The coefficients in Table 5B.1, that you need to use this equation, are labeled incorrectly. In table 5B.1, the top row should read:
Atom Z a1 b1 a2 b2 a3 b3 a4 b4

p. 320, Table 7.17. The BMH potential energy parameter rij should be in units of Angstroms not eV..

p. 400, Eq. 9.82. In the second equation, the final term should be Exx instead of Ess.
