Description

This course introduces X-Ray diffraction as a method for the determination of crystal structures. Through lectures and tutorials, it covers Bragg’s Law, the use of the reciprocal space and the structure factor to interpret XRD patterns. A short presentation of experimental set-ups is also included.
