Résumé : |
The physical properties of crystals are defined by the relationships between measurable quantities. These quantities may or may not depend on the direction in which they are measured. In certain cases, the value of a certain property is constant for all directions of the crystal; therefore, isotropic and anisotropic crystals will be differentiated. It will be shown that the properties can be represented by tensors, scalars being those of range 0. Depending on the symmetry of the crystal and the tensor range of the properties, they can be represented geometrically, which is especially useful for optical properties. The Curie–Neuman principle, which shows the relationship between the point symmetry of a crystal before the external influence and the symmetry of its physical properties, is explained. Finally, scalar properties, specific heat, and density are explained. In Chaps. 11 to 15, the optical properties of crystals and minerals are described, as a result of the interaction of light with them. The phenomena and properties that are observed with transmission and reflection polarization microscopes, instruments of routine use in the identification of minerals and rocks, are explained. |
