Overview

Crystals are solids in which atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a highly ordered, periodic three-dimensional pattern known as a lattice, repeating through space in a defined unit cell. This long-range order, classified among the seven crystal systems and fourteen Bravais lattices, gives crystalline materials sharp melting points, anisotropic physical properties, and characteristic diffraction behavior. Crystallography, the study of crystal structure, relies chiefly on X-ray diffraction to determine atomic positions, bond lengths, and symmetry, complemented by spectroscopic and microscopic methods and by computational structure prediction. Crystallization, the controlled formation of an ordered solid from solution or melt, is governed by nucleation and growth kinetics, supersaturation, and the interplay of thermodynamic and kinetic factors that can yield distinct polymorphs with differing stability and properties. Crystalline order underlies the function of minerals, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and biomaterials such as calcium orthophosphate, and the optical and electronic properties of doped nanocrystals depend sensitively on their crystal structure. New Developments in Chemistry publishes peer-reviewed research touching on crystalline materials, including structural, optical, and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis of doped nanocrystals, vibrational and density functional studies of molecular structure, and physicochemical standardization of solid materials.
