Summary

Crystallochemistry and structures in solids. Structures of crystallic, amorphous and mesomorphous phases. Modern methods of solid state characterisation. In materials research, the scientist has many analytical questions related to the crystalline constitution of material samples. X-ray diffraction is the only laboratory technique that reveals structural information, such as chemical composition, crystal structure, crystallite size, strain, preferred orientation and layer thickness. Materials researchers therefore use X-ray diffraction to analyze a wide range of materials, from powders and thin films to nanomaterials and solid objects.
