within Educational
Program
(Applicable only to targeted subjects for undergraduate students) Crystallography is the experimental science of determining the arrangement of atoms in the crystalline solids. Various characteristic properties of a solid are controlled by the crystal structure with characteristic symmetry. The purpose of this lecture is to learn how to express symmetry and crystal structure, and relationship between the structure and physical properties of crystal. Knowledge of Crystallography will be used in other lectures and experiments (Solid State Physics, etc.).
