Elastic vs. inelastic scattering X-ray crystallography is a form of elastic scattering; the outgoing X-rays have the same energy, and thus same wavelength, as the incoming X-rays, only with altered direction. By contrast, ”inelastic scattering” occurs when energy is transferred ...Crystallography

In crystallography, a screw axis is a symmetry operation describing how a combination of rotation about an axis and a translation parallel to that axis leaves a crystal unchanged. Screw axes are noted by a number, ''n'', where the angle of rotation is 360°/''n''. The degree of translation...

Cosmic Crystallography is a technique used in physics and astronomy to determine the possible topology of the universe (eg. a torus, 3-sphere, etc.). astronomers observe sources of high redshift and look for repeating patterns that may indicate the connection of ...
Racemic crystallography is a recently-developed technique of structural biology, which appears capable of producing certain protein crystals. Adapted from the Wikipedia article Racemic crystallography, under the G. N. U. Free Documentation License. Please also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
Crystallography is a tool that is often employed by materials scientists. In single crystals, the effects of the crystalline arrangement of atoms is often easy to see macroscopically, because the natural shapes of crystals reflect the atomic structure. In addition, ...
Some materials studied using crystallography, proteins for example, do not occur naturally as crystals. Typically, such molecules are placed in solution and allowed to crystallize over days, weeks, or months through vapor diffusion. A drop of solution containing the molecule, ...
Crystallography is the experimental science of determining the arrangement of atoms in solids. The word “crystallography” is derived from the Greek words ”crystallon” = cold drop / frozen drop, with its meaning extending to all solids with some degree of ...

*Coordinates in ”square brackets” such as [100] denote a direction vector (in real space). *Coordinates in ”angle brackets” or ”chevrons” such as denote a ”family” of directions which are related by symmetry operations. In the cubic crystal system for example, ...
