Lecture 5

The document summarizes key concepts in crystallography including: 1) Max von Laue won the Nobel Prize in 1914 for his discovery of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals, establishing the field of crystallography. 2) William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg won the 1915 Nobel Prize for using X-ray crystallography to determine crystal structures. 3) Bragg's law (2d sinθ = nλ) relates the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation to the diffraction pattern of rays scattered from layers of atoms in a crystal.
