Crystallography: systematic absences and the structure factor
« on: October 23, 2007, 10:19:06 AM »
Hey!
I need some help on how to derive the systematic absences from for example an I-centered lattice using the structure factor. I have scrounged all available textbook including 3 on advanced inorganic chemistry which covers diffraction and crystallography but to no help. One problem is that I suck on mathemathics. :D Does anobody have some good pointers, maybe website tutorials etc on how to do this? I'm kinda in a hurry so don't have time to order books and I've already checked local libraries.

Can you look into International Tables for Crystallography?

May be start from wk\ikipedia:

Yes. :)
Kind of embarrasing but did not even look at the Wikipedia page, and it gave pretty decent information. I think I can puzzle something from here. Thanks!
