Physics 590 “International Tables of Crystallography” “Everything you wanted to know about beautiful flies, but were afraid to ask.” Schönflies Gordie Miller (321 Spedding) • Proposed Plan • What basic information is found on the space grouppages… • Stoichiometry of the unit cell (Wyckoff sites) • Site (point) symmetry of atoms in solids • Solid-solid phase transitions (group-subgroup relationships) • Diffraction conditions – what to expect in a XRD powder pattern.

Burns and A.M.Glazer (Little mathematical formalism; prose style) International Tables for Crystallography (http://it.iucr.org/) Bilbao Crystallographic Server (www.cryst.ehu.es) (Comprehensive resources for all space groups)
