Structural Analysis of Nanomaterials
Structural Analysis of Nanomaterials. Instructor: Prof. Kaushik Pal, Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, IIT Roorkee. Structural analysis of nanomaterials is an important part of Materials Science and Nanoscience and Nanotechnology which deals with the study of crystal structure of materials and their defects. It is a prerequisite for the understanding of properties of nanomaterials to have a detailed knowledge of the structure from the atomic/molecular (local) level to the crystal structure and to the microstructure (mesoscopic scale and defect structure). The primary goal of structural analysis of nanomaterials is aiming at both investigating the structure-property relationship and discovering new properties, in order to achieve relevant improvements in current state-of-the art materials.

| Lecture 13 - Determination of Crystal Structures by XRD Patterns |
This lecture discusses the basic principles of structure determination and their application to deduce the crystal structure of cubic and non-cubic systems from diffraction patterns. Some examples of indexing diffraction patterns of cubic and non-cubic (hexagonal system) crystals using analytical and mathematical methods have also been discussed.
