CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AND X-RAY DIFFRACTION

GEOSCI 765

Principles of crystal chemistry, emphasizing the structure and behavior of rock forming minerals.

MS&E 748

Introduction to transmission electron microscopy of materials, including imaging, diffraction, and microanalysis. Knowledge of diffraction [such asM S & E 448] strongly encouraged.

CHEM 613

Theory of structural chemistry, experimental methods involved, applications to problems of chemical interest; use of diffractometric equipment and computer data analysis for an actual structure determination.

MS&E 648

Advanced concepts and methods for the use of x-ray scattering, diffraction, and spectroscopy in materials science and engineering. Underpinning fundamental mathematical and scattering concepts, including kinematic and dynamical diffraction, diffuse scattering, and optical coherence in x-ray scattering. Practical aspects of experiments at synchrotron light sources and free electron lasers. Applications, including structure of metals and ceramics, polymeric materials, thin films and nanostructures, and magnetic materials.

MS&E 360

Laboratory instruction in sample preparation for and applications of quantitative microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and properties measurement in the context of structure-property relationships in materials.
