Introduction to Crystallography: Lecture 1 — Introduction

A series of lectures and handout notes given by Dr. Cora Lind for her Chem 4980/6850/8850: X-ray Crystallography course at the University of Toledo (Ohio). These lectures introduce concepts in crystallography, such as the lattice, symmetry, single-crystal and powder diffraction, crystal structure determination and refinement.

This lecture introduces crystallography, including the history and generation of x-rays. (Note that refractive optics for x-rays are used at the APS, in contrast to what is mentioned in the lecture).
