Short description:	The basic information about the structure of crystals, symmetry and its properties, properties of X-rays, diffraction theories.
Full description:	The course covers the following issues: Symmetry and its properties, crystallization techniques, crystal growth theories, imperfect crystals, energetic aspects of the crystals structures, classification of solids (ionic, covalent, metallic, molecular) their characteristics. Properties of X-rays. Laue and Bragg’s diffraction theories; reciprocal space. Symmetry of diffraction pattern, Intensity of reflections as a source of information about arrangement of atoms and/or ions in the crystal unit cell. Phase problem. Experimental methods of X-ray crystallography: Laue method, oscillation method, goniometric methods; determination of unit cell parameters; Powder diffraction. Elements of crystallophysics. Interpretation of the crystal and molecular structure based on crystallographic databases
