Crystallography Reports

Illustration of a film heterostructure from Assembly of Multilayer Ordered Films by Alternating Adsorption of Oppositely Charged Macromolecules by Y. M. Lvov and G. Decher, in Crystallography Reports Vol. 39, 1994, pp. 628-647.

Crystallography Reports, a Journal of the Russian Academy of Science, formerly Soviet Physics Crystallography, covers an exceptionally wide range of crystal and diffraction physics and includes contributions on theory and application of atomic and molecular structure, phase transitions, elastic, optical,  magnetic, acoustical, and electrical properties of matter in the solid state, liquid crystals, crystal and epitaxial growth, temperature dependence of cell dimensions, and point defects. This richly illustrated journal deserves wider distribution and attention and would benefit from additionalsupport from the entire crystallographic community. Submission of manuscripts by crystallographers working outside Russia would produce a truly international journal and improve access to international research results by Russian scientists.

The following titles are from Vol. 39, No.4:

• Ideal Crystals in Spaces of a Constant Curvature
• Comparing Point Sets to Separate Common Subsets

• An Optical Model of a Surface in the X-ray Range
• High-Resolution X-ray Diffractometry of Ge_xSi_1-x Superlattices
• A Method of Automatically Indexing Laue Patterns
• Averaging of Electron Microscope Images with Minimal Loss in Resolution
• A New Representative of the Cancrinite Family
• New Dioxolane Analogs of 2',3'-Dideoxynucleosides
