一、課程說明(Course Description)
The purpose of this course is to provide students fundamental knowledge of
essential crystallography and X-ray diffraction theory. The experimental
techniques of X-ray diffraction and their applications in determination of
crystal structure, lattice parameters, chemical compositions and residual
stress will also be covered.
