Crystal Structure Analysis and Crystal Chemistry

- Introduction to crystal chemistry
- Theory of single crystal diffraction
- Structure factor calculations
- Structure determination techniques
- Structure solution and refinement with Olex2 and SHELX
- Thermal motion
- Disorder in crystal structures
- Anomalus disperion

The students will be able to determine a crystal structure and to refine the atom parameters based on single-crystal diffraction data. Furthermore, the sutdents will gain a basic understanding of crystal chemistry. Theses skills are needed for most of the topics in a crystallography based research project.

usually oral exam, in rare cases written exam
