👉 Crystallography is a branch of physics that studies crystals and their structures. It involves using light or other electromagnetic radiation to study the atomic arrangements in crystals, which can be used for both structural analysis and material properties such as optical properties, electrical conductivity, and magnetic properties. In crystallography, researchers use X-ray diffraction (XRD) to study the crystal lattice structure of a substance. They perform these experiments by using high-energy X-rays to expose an element or sample to the
