05-MCM-CR-a Crystallography

Representative Johannes Birkenstock

Learning Contents:

Fundamentals of Crystallography for all aspects of materials and mineral science
- properties of crystals
- crystals and periodicity
- symmetry of crystals and crystal properties
- basics of crystal chemistry and crystal physics
- crystal structure models
- crystal structure determination
- space-group theory
- group-subgroup relationships
- transformations in crystallography
- calculation of interatomic distances and angles

X-ray diffraction - fundamentals and methods
- diffraction and scattering phenomena
- diffraction and periodicity
- diffraction in direct and reciprocal space
- powder diffraction methods
- methods for powder diffraction data analyses
- calculation of powder diffraction patterns
- Rietveld analysis of powder diffraction patterns - understanding, evaluation and application

Learning Outcomes, Targeted Competencies:

Students will understand the specific properties of crystals and be able to describe them with crystallographic tools. X-ray diffraction methods and up-to-date methods for X-ray diffraction data analysis will be understood in detail and the students will be able to apply the latter. Specifically the following skills will be achieved:
- knowledge in crystallography will be the prerequisitefor the understanding of 3-dimensional crystal structures
- knowledge in symmetry relationships and laws will be the prerequisite for understanding crystal properties
- training in X-ray diffraction methods will enable students to identify minerals and crystalline compounds, and to determine atomic positions in crystals.
