Crystal Structure Analysis Lecture Notes

Lecture notes by Dr. Peter Mueller on crystal structure analysis through X-ray diffraction techniques include key topics like principles of symmetry and space groups, geometry of diffraction, and computation of structure factors. The lecture goes on to discuss problems such as the phase problem and direct and Patterson techniques to solve it. It also encompasses electron density maps and refinement of structures. Practical issues like growing good-quality crystals and powder diffraction methods are addressed, besides the limitations of X-ray diffraction. The notes are a treasure trove of knowledge on the basics of crystallography and its applications combined with insight into structure databases.
