Advanced Certificate in Powder Diffraction on the WEB

An understanding of symmetry is an important requisite for getting the most out of your data, especially in powder diffraction where the 3-dimensional information is averaged into a single dimension. This Web course teaches you all the things that you need to know concerning symmetry and its application to powder diffraction. This diagram shows standard symbols indicating how, for a very common crystal symmetry, atoms or molecules may be spatially related.
