Purpose of lecture
On the basis of crystal physics of undergraduate course, this lecture provides fundamentals of crystallography (lattice and point group), physical tensors (of electricity, magnetism, elasticity, and optics), lattice vibration, and crystallographic analysis methodology (X-ray diffraction, electron beam diffraction, SPM, etc).
Plan of lecture
1. Crystal symmetry: Bravais lattice and crystal system, point group, and physical tensors.
2. Inverse lattice and structural analysis: scattering of waves by crystal, scattering and Fourier analysis, inverse lattice and diffraction condition.
3. Crystal optics: birefringence and photoelastic effects, optical activity and magneto-optical effects, electrooptic effects, and nonlinear optical effects.
4. Elastic properties and wave propagation in crystals: crystal anisotropy and elastic constants, elastic wave equation, anisotropic propagation of elastic waves and its application.
