Probing the Structure of Solids

Synopsis: The arrangement of atoms in a solid - ‘atomic architecture’ is one of the most fundamental properties of a solid. Considers the importance of x-ray diffraction patterns and Bragg’s Law with respect to simple and complex crystal structures. To see how these complex structures are interpreted the Science and Engineering Research Council’s Synchrotron source at Daresbury is shown where scientists analyse the diffraction patterns of molecular crystals containing thousands of atoms.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
