Neumann's Principle 5. The Value of a Physical Property in a Given Direction 6. Higher Order Effects 7. Description of the Physical Properties in Matrix Notation 8. The teaching aim of this booklet is to give an overall view about crystal physics without the separate discussion of the individual physical properties of crystals.
Crystal physics is based on physics, crystallography and mathematics.
Therefore this booklet is suitable for advanced undergraduates or initial postgraduates who are already acquainted with the elements of solid state physics, of crystallography and of vector calculations.
