Introduction to the course ,
Please have a look at the Resources before purchasing the course . It is an open source course by prof. Rajesh Prasad .
You might find what you were looking for in them and not have to buy the course .
But of course the style of teaching is completely different in this course , in addition to using new tools of illustration here , Like AUTOCAD .
I hope you will find what you hoped for in this course .
**NOTE :
You might need to speed up the videos a little bit ,as I am talking somewhat slowly .
Best wishes and Happy Learning ! .
Explore the microscopic crystal structure, distinguishing crystalline and amorphous solids, with domains and grains that govern optical and mechanical properties, and introduce x-ray diffraction as a tool.
Explore how identical spheres can fill space with translational symmetry, defining a lattice and distinguishing true lattices from non-lattice arrangements through the concept of identical environments.
Distinguish crystals from lattices by framing crystals as a lattice with a basis or motive, where the lattice provides repeating positions and the basis defines the atoms.
Understand how translation symmetry builds a lattice from a unit cell, using basis vectors a and b and the angle alpha to generate the whole lattice.
Identify and compare primitive and non-primitive unit cells, prioritizing symmetry as the primary criterion, then consider size and convention to classify lattices and define lattice parameters.
Explore how lattices are classified by basic shapes and additive centers, from 2D five lattice types to 3D fourteen lattices, using primitive, body-centered, face-centered, and base-centered arrangements.
Explore crystal systems and the classification of lattices, detailing primitive, body-centered, face-centered, and end-centered lattices among the 14 lattice types, and how to identify units to generate a full crystal.
Explore the concept of symmetry, including mirror and rotation, and learn how symmetry operations define lattice classification in crystallography.
Explore point symmetry through reflection across a 2d mirror line and a 3d plane, where fixed points stay put, and rotation about an axis for square and cube shapes.
Define n-fold rotation as coinciding with itself after 360 divided by n degrees, illustrated with square fourfold and triangle threefold symmetry, and explore axis-based rotations on lattices.
Check translation symmetry to confirm a lattice, then use the translational and point groups within the space group to identify lattice type, square or rectangle, by mirrors and rotations.
Identify lattice symmetries and crystal systems by analyzing point groups and translation variations, with a focus on the cubic system defined by threefold and fourfold axes and x-ray diffraction verification.
Understand why the face-centered cubic lattice exists within the cubic crystal system, has threefold axes, and is one of the 14 Bravais lattices.
Materials Science and Engineering ,
An important field of science that has always had a strong effect on the evolution of civilizations and how advanced they were .
Being a measure of humanity's capability, knowledge of materials was used to mark ages , we say "stone age"... . As time passes, our knowledge became more comprehensive and accurate about the different types of materials and their properties ,
So advanced that we can now produce new materials, which is what we call materials engineering. And That's why I present this course to you .
One of the fields that I study passionately is materials science, because it is a crucial prerequisite for designing any structure or machine . This course "Crystallography" is an introductory course for materials science, starting from the very basics ,designed for high school students or college students in early years , who are interested to know how do solid materials look like at the deepest levels of the atomic scale . how are atoms oriented together, and how could we describe this orientation.
In this course we'll not follow the traditional way of teaching . It is meant to be a comprehensive course covering a large group of topics regarding crystalline solids , especially steels ceramics and polymers . As they are the most commonly used materials in manufacturing. We will study these topics in full detail ,and move slowly but surely towards building a strong foundation for future studies in engineering fields .
This is the first batch of the course covering the following topics :
- Crystal structure and its different levels
- 2d & 3d Lattices -unit cells - symmetry in 2d &3d ,
- Square lattice as an example of 2d lattices
- Cubic lattice as an example of 3d lattices .
Special illustration methods are used to make sure the information is properly delivered .
This course consists of : 4:47 hours , 31 videos, average 8.7 minutes per video .

See you in the course.
