Chemistry: Graduate Lecture Series: (CT4) X-Ray Crystallography, Electron Diffraction, Microscopy and Analysis (5L)

CHARACTERISATION TECHNIQUES (CT)

(CT4) X-Ray Crystallography, Electron Diffraction, Microscopy and Analysis (5L)

Lectures 1-3 (Steve Driver) aim to introduce the basics of crystallography and diffraction, assuming no prior knowledge. Topics include: the reciprocal lattice and its relevance to diffraction; how the structure factor accounts for phases; and how Fourier transforms link diffracted amplitude with crystal structure. These ideas lay the groundwork for Lectures 4-5 (David Jefferson), where specific methods in X-ray and electron diffraction are discussed in detail.
