Solid State Chemistry and its Applications, 2nd Edition

Welcome to the companion website for Solid State Chemistry and its Applications, 2nd Edition by Anthony R. West. This website contains a variety of supplementary resources which will be useful to users of the book.

On this site you will find the following resources:

1. CrystalViewer (available for Windows and Mac). CrystalViewer is a visualisation program for displaying and manipulating crystal structures. The CrystalViewer software facilitates the exploration of crystal structures in three dimensions, allowing users to view the structures in different orientations, and highlight/hide different structural features so as to aid the interpretation of complex crystal structures.
2. Crystal structure library. The CrystalViewer program is accompanied by over 100 crystal structure files; many of these structures relate directly to illustrations from the book, identified by their figure numbers, and a variety of additional structures are provided to complement the concepts and applications discussed in the text.
3. Answers to the question set. The complete set of questions can be found at the end of the book.
4. Figures from the book as PowerPoint slides. Copies of all the figures in the book are provided in PowerPoint format.
5. Further Reading An extended list of recommended reading to accompany the book.

Resources are displayed in two ways:

• Using the menu at the top, select a chapter. A list of resources available for that particular chapter will be provided.

• Using the menu at the top, select a resource. This will allow you to access a particular resource section. You will then have the option of selecting resources within the section or going directly to a specific chapter.
