2. Instructor Information
3. Course Objectives
Students analyze various crystalline materials for their research. Most of the analytical equipment uses simulation software that is based on crystallography. To evaluate exactly the phase and crystallographic orientation, the background on the crystallography is necessary. This class introduces the key concept of understanding crystallography and crystal diffraction.
