No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1970–71 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

Space lattices, symmetry, crystal geometry and structure, sterographyic projections. X-ray production, theory of X-ray diffraction and X-ray methods, crystal structure determination, the reciprocal lattice. Optional topics such as crystal formation, crystal defects, electron and neutron diffraction. Strongly recommended for students planning to take PHYS 435 (Solid State Physics). May be taken in either second or third year

As printed in the 1990–91 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
