Cristallography
Final examination
Geometric Crystallography describes the crystalline solid through the periodic repetition and the invariance following symmetries of a chemical pattern at lattice points, hence the properties. Beyond, X ray Diffraction is the tool that allows determining the crystal structure at the atomic scale.
This teaching unit aims at making the student able to apprehend by him/herself the symmetries and the atomic array of a crystal structure. These geometric considerations will be developed in narrow relation with X ray powder diffraction that will allow solving simple crystal structures. In a more general canvas, this unit is linked to teaching in solid state chemistry and is a basis for understanding the properties of materials.
