Abstract
THE study of matter in the crystalline state is of importance at the present time to workers in so many branches of the pure and applied sciences that a paper by P. W. Bridgman, in vol. 60 of the Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences of October 1925, on “Certain Physical Properties of Single Crystals of Tungsten, Antimony, Bismuth, Tellurium, Cadmium, Zinc, and Tin,” will be read with far more than usual interest. With the exception of tungsten, all these metals crystallise in systems other than cubic, zinc and cadmium being hexagonal; bismuth, antimony, and tellurium trigonal; and tin tetragonal. The tungsten crystal, prepared in another manner, was included in the research merely as a result of the fact that a large crystal was placed at the author's disposal.
