  abstract: "The use of single crystals for scientific and technological applications is now widespread in solid-state physics, optics, electronics, materials science and geophysics. An understanding of the variation of physical properties with crystalline direction is essential to maximise the performance of solid state devices." "This is the second edition of an established textbook. The book provides a concise introduction to the tensor properties of crystals at a level suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. It is written from a physical viewpoint and avoids advanced mathematics."--BOOK JACKET.
