Diffraction Lecture 23 - Structure Factors Part 1

The structure factor F(hkl) arises from interference effects between X-rays scattered off of different atoms in the unit cell. All of the information about where the atoms are located in the unit cell is contained in the structure factor. In this lecture we look at the origins of the structure factor and see how they are calculated. We finish with some illustrative examples.

I was fortunate to listen to your lecture at GRC 2024; it was the last lecture of the conference, if I remember correctly. After coming back, I found your channel. All the lectures are extremely useful for anyone who is in touch with solid-state chemistry. It is like a thriller series. I hope to get more content in the future.

Great lecture! Thank you for breaking down some of the wave addition techniques before diving into the structure factor. That made understanding the structure factor much easier!
