CHEM 358 - Crystallography, Diffraction, and Scattering Methods

This course offers an in-depth exploration of diffraction and scattering techniques essential for characterizing the structure of biochemical, inorganic, and organic materials. Students will explore the fundamentals of diffraction and scattering phenomena, the symmetry present in solids, and their implications for material characterization.  We will examine diffraction and scattering methods, including their application in determining crystal structures, and the Rietveld method for structural analysis. Additionally, we will look at diffraction and scattering techniques employed to characterize non-crystalline materials and to measure and characterize dynamics in materials.

Prerequisites:   CHEM 102 - Introductory Chemistry II   or CHEM 103 - Accelerated Introductory Chemistry  and PHYS 121 - Introductory Physics - Part II, with Calculus  and MATH 121 - Calculus II  or MATH 125 - Honors Calculus II  or permission of instructor.

Anticipated Terms Offered: Offered every other year.
