Description:
During the lecture, the student will learn about following aspects: 1. Elements of crystallography (crystal lattice concept, symmetry operations, point and space groups, reciprocal lattice) 2. X-ray properties: laboratory production and synchrotron radiation 3. Interaction of X-rays with matter: Compton phenomenon, photoelectric, Rayleigh scattering 4. Geometric conditions of X-ray scattering by crystal: Laue's theory, Ewald's construction, Bragg's equation. 5. Elastic X-ray scattering by electrons, atoms, elementary cells and crystals. The intensity of diffractive radiation. 6. Experimental techniques for studying the structure of crystals (powder and monocrystalline methods) 7. Methods of determining crystalline structure: Fourier and Patterson analysis, direct methods, structure clarification. 8. The Rietveld method for determining structure parameters from diffraction on powder samples In the laboratory classes: 1. learn to work on a powder diffractometer 2. perform simple calculations of structure parameters for regular system crystals 3. acquaint himself with the basic programmes for calculating structures Mandatory examination
