This lecture covers the
following topics: X-ray diffraction: symmetry, space groups, geometry of
diffraction, structure factors, phase problem, direct methods, Patterson
methods, electron density maps, structure refinement, how to grow good crystals,
powder methods, limits of X-ray diffraction methods, and structure data bases.
This book, presents new insights
to the reader, as well as crucial and very useful information for researchers
working in this field, while simultaneously creating a comprehensive text about
crystallization processes which may serve as a starting point for people with
different backgrounds.
