The International Tables for Crystallography

The International Tables for Crystallography are comprehensive reference books that provide detailed information about the structure of crystals, including their symmetry, geometry, and mathematical descriptions. Established by experts worldwide, these tables serve as essential tools for scientists studying crystal structures, enabling precise determination and analysis of how atoms are arranged in solids. They standardize terminology and methods, ensuring consistency across the field of crystallography, which is fundamental to understanding materials in chemistry, physics, geology, and biology.
