( 0303722 Crystallography and X-Ray Diffraction (3 Credit Hrs) Prerequisite: (0333721))

• Course Description :Course Content: X-ray diffraction by crystals and elucidation of structure. Topics dealt with are: Crystal lattices systems, space groups and derivation of equivalent positions; the reciprocal lattice concept; collection of diffraction data and their reduction; calculated structure factors and Fourier transform; the phase problem; Paterson function and the heavy atom method; other methods; structure refinement. The laboratory work involves data collection by the Weissenberg technique as well as unit cell measurements and space group determination. It also includes sample data reduction and structure determination and refinement using SHETXTL package will be tried with the students on a personal computer.
