This lecture course is aimed at physics and chemistry students in the Masters Course as well as those who are involved in an experimental Ph.D. thesis.
Kommentar
The ultimate goal to to describe the experimental method called 'Total scattering method' in detail. When I gave a similar course at the Uni Hamburg, I started with the general ideas of structure of materials including basic concepts of crystallography, tools to determine and understand the structure applying diffraction methods in general and then come to the determination of local structural applying total scattering method. The main reference book will be : Underneath the Bragg Peaks: Structural Analysis of Complex Materials (Volume 16) (Pergamon Materials Series, Volume 16, Band 16) by Egami and Billinge

There are many good textbooks for this important field. I will follow, for the most part, the excellent book by M.Tinkham, "Group Theory and Quantum Mechanics", McGraw-Hill 1964, and the classic book by E. Wigner, "Gruppentheorie...", Vieweg 1931, (Vieweg Reprint 1977). A recent book with many applications is “Group theory – Application to the Physics of Condensed Matter” by Dresselhaus, Dresselhaus and Jorio, Springer-Verlag 2008.
