IUCr 1994 Report - Volume B. Reciprocal Space

The first edition of Volume B [full reference International Tables for Crystallography (1993). Volume B: Reciprocal Space, edited by U. Shmueli, 506 + xxii pp. ISBN 0-7923-2189-8. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers] was the basis of the activities during 1994, which were mainly aimed at the preparation of the second edition of Volume B. This edition was decided upon in the previous year, 1993, following the appearance of Volume B. The editorial work dealt with several topics: (i) discussion of modifications of existing chapters with their authors, (ii) preliminary exchange of letters and e-mail messages with potential authors of new contributions and, subsequently, their formal invitation, and (iii) completion of a significant revision of Chapter 2.1, co-authored by the Editor.

As of now, the new contributions to the second edition deal with (i) application of direct methods to electron crystallography, (ii) X-ray and electron diffraction by polymers, and (iii) dynamical theory of neutron diffraction. Also, several existing chapters will have undergone more or less extensive revision, all aiming at a proper updating of the first edition.
