Preliminary Reading

Slides to use in the workshop will be provided a few days before it. Skimming through this paper will be useful: https://journals.iucr.org/j/issues/2010/05/02/kk5061/kk5061.pdf

Alternatively, it would be helpful to read or skim through the chapter on solids in general chemistry textbooks, or the X-ray diffraction chapter in physical chemistry or instrumental analysis textbooks.
