The book is a good, undergraduate level introduction to crystallography. It describes the basic concepts, like a Bravais lattice, and the 230 space groups. The key idea to grasp is symmetry. And how this can lead to tiling in two or three dimensions. Giving rise to such structures as a body centred
Photonic crystals are periodic optical nanostructures that are designed to affect the motion of photons in a similar way that periodicity of a semiconductor crystal affects the motion of electrons. Photonic crystals occur in nature and in various forms have been studied scientifically for the last 1
