This course on X-Ray Crystallography aims to help learners understand crystalline and amorphous materials, their physical properties, and methods of obtaining single crystals. By the end of the course, students will be able to select suitable crystals, understand unit cells and symmetries, and apply Bragg's Law and Laue equation for diffraction. The course covers topics such as structure factor equations, reciprocal lattice, diffraction patterns, and three-dimensional intensity data collection using diffractometers. Learners will also delve into structure solution, electron density maps, and calculating geometrical parameters like bond lengths and angles. The course is designed for individuals interested in crystallography, material science, chemistry, or related fields.
