Outline of lecture

Fundamentals of crystallography, including lattice and point symmetry, are given to introduce physical tensors (electric, magnetic, elastic optical, etc.) of crystals.
Principles of crystal-structure analyses and phonon vibrations are introduced, with which fundamentals of methodologies for crystal-structures analyses using X-ray, are given. Fundamental optical properties of crystals and the interaction between light and materials are also introduced.

Purpose of lecture

The objective of this lecture is to understand fundamentals of crystallography (lattice and point group), physical tensors (of electricity, magnetism, elasticity, and optics), lattice vibration, and methodology of crystallographic analysis (X-ray diffraction, electron beam diffraction, etc). This lecture also focuses on the optical properties of solids within the framework of crystal physics and solid state physics.
