To identify and apply the concepts involved in the syntheses, structure and physical properties of crystalline inorganic solids Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course, the learners should be able to: Arrive at the chemical compositions based on unit cell contents and fractional coordinates. Index cubic powder XRD pattern, determine unit cell parameter and lattice type Index non-cubic powder XRD patterns based on unit cell parameters provided Calculate densities from powder XRD data Identify and apply a suitable strategies for synthesizing inorganic crystalline solids in polycrystalline and single crystal forms Correlate and Predict structure-composition-properties (magnetic, electrical and optical) in inorganic crystalline solids
