Fifty Years of X-Ray Diffraction Dedicated to the International Union of Crystallography on the Occasion of the Commemoration Meeting in Munich July 1962

Origin, Scope, and Plan of this Book In July 1962 the fiftieth anniversary of Max von Laue's discovery of the Diffraction of X-rays by crystals is going to be celebrated in Munich by a large international group of crystallographers, physi­ cists, chemists, spectroscopists, biologists, industria...
