Crystallography matters ... more!

The workshop "Frontiers of Crystallography" was held in Novosibirsk State University, as a satellite event of the 3rd International Conference "Crystallogenesis and Mineralogy" and included comprehensive lectures and tutorials on the following topics:

1. Crystal growth in Nature, laboratory and industry
• Crystals and crystallization (a general introduction)
• Crystal growth of non-linear optical materials
• Crystal growth of synthetic diamonds
• Crystal growth and experimental mineralogy
• Crystal growth of magnetic materials

2. High-pressure diffraction and Raman microscopy in crystal genesis and mineralogy
• Instrumentation for generating HP, HP-HT and HP-LT conditions
• Instrumentation for data collection using in situ X-ray diffraction at high pressures
• Processing of high-pressure diffraction data
• In situ Raman microscopy and spectroscopy at high pressures: experimental techniques, data analysis and applications

3. Frontiers of crystallography: aperiodic, twinned and disordered structures
