Didactic material for the MaThCryst schools
Since its beginning, the IUCr MaThCryst commission has organized a series of schools on Crystallography. In this page we collect some didactic material that is used frequently in our schools. Other material specific to some schools is available in the corresponding school page (see our meeting page to find a complete list of our schools).
- Fundamentals of crystallographic symmetry (M. Nespolo)
- Miller indices, forms, zones and introduction to the stereographic projection (M. Nespolo)
- Screw axes and glide planes (M. Nespolo)
- Introduction to crystallographic calculations (M. Nespolo)
- An historical introduction to the reciprocal lattice (M. Nespolo)
- Geometric interpretation of reflection conditions (M. Nespolo)
- Introduction to crystallographic orbits (M. Nespolo)
- Hierarchy of classification of space groups (M. Nespolo)
