Diffraction Methods and Crystal Structure Analysis

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advanced Mineralogy ((AM,volume 2))

Abstract

A crystal with its strictly periodic atomic structure represents a natural, very symmetrical three-dimensional diffraction grating for wavelengths of the order of the interatomic distances. Crystal structure analysis is thus based on the theories of symmetry (space groups) on the one hand and of interaction of radiation with solids (diffraction) on the other. The diffraction techniques, with the help of extensive computer calculations, lead to the atomic arrangements of crystalline materials. Depending on the problem. X-rays, electrons, or neutrons are used, which provide the electron-density, electrostatic potential density and nuclear density (also magnetic spin density) distribution, respectively, in a crystal.
