Goals

The knowledge of the structure of matter is most often a prerequisite for understanding its properties. X-ray, neutron or elecron scattering can be used in order to investigate the structure of materials. The course is an introduction to crystallography. It focuses on perfect crystal structure and symmetry and X-ray scattering.

The two main objectives of the course are that students are able to describe any crystal structure and to determine a crystal structure from the analysis of its X-ray diffraction pattern.

Content

Summary
1/ Introduction
2/ Direct and recirocal lattices, lattice classification
3/Study of crystal symmetries, space groups, point groups
4/ X-ray scattering
5/ Experimental methods and case studies

Chapters 2 and 3 deal with geometrical crystallography. The importance of the symmetry of crystals will be emphasized. Examples will be analyzed only from a structural point of view. Questions about the origin of a given structure or chemical bonding are out of the scope of the lectures.
Chapters 4 and 5 on X ray scattering are illustrated by tutorials on relevant examples of crystal structure determination.
