Basic Crystallography

J.-J. Rousseau, Basic Crystallography, John Wiley Sons, Ltd, Chichester (1998). 

In the following we give only the main lines of the structure determination process, without trying to be complete, and assume that the reader is familiar with basic crystallography. More details can be found in a number of monographs, but, among others, the paper of Hirshfeld [1] is a good primer. 

Knowledge of basic crystallography starts from the conception of symmetry, symmetry planes and symmetry operations necessary to identify the parameters, like lattice, lattice planes, crystal lattices (i.e. Bravis lattice) describing different crystal symmetries. Miller indices h, k, 1) to identify crystal planes etc. are explained here.
