Looking for Introductory Books on Crystallography, Thermodynamics, and Phonons?

[NotMrX]

Do yall know of any good books on:

crystal thermodynamics,
crystalography,
and phonons?

I am looking for introductory books that assume knowledge of the basics like thermodynamics, calculus, etc... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

As a scientist with expertise in crystallography and thermodynamics, I would recommend the following books on these topics:

1. "Introduction to Crystallography" by Donald E. Sands - This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to crystallography, covering topics such as crystal symmetry, diffraction, and crystal structures.

2. "Thermodynamics of Crystals" by J. W. Cahn and J. E. Hilliard - This book delves into the thermodynamics of crystalline materials, including phase transformations, defects, and statistical mechanics.

3. "Phonons: Theory and Experiments" by J. M. Ziman - This book offers a thorough introduction to the theory of phonons, including their role in thermal and mechanical properties of crystals.

All of these books assume knowledge of basic concepts in thermodynamics and calculus, making them suitable for an introductory level. I hope these suggestions are helpful and wish you luck in your studies.
