MSE 301 Advanced Crystallography and Diffraction

Course Description

This course covers the theory surrounding diffraction/scattering, its application, and techniques used to answer the question of how to define and characterize atomic or molecular structures in the solid state. Fundamental concepts include symmetry, space groups, lattices, Bragg's Law, Laue equations, reciprocal space, and the physics of diffraction/scattering. Application and techniques include treatment of disordered systems, X-ray/electron
eutron specifics, solving/refining structures, and Rietveld/PDF analysis. Case studies are drawn from molecular compounds, ceramic/intermetallics, MOFs, 2D materials, polymers, and powder/thin film/single crystal diffraction. Critical assessment of obtained structures and how they can relate to chemical/physical properties is also discussed.
