Programme

Wednesday, 7 September, 9 am to 5 pm

Optional pre-course: Fundamental toolkit for crystallographers
Lecturers: Mois I. Aroyo (Bilbao) and Massimo Nespolo (Nancy)
Topics covered: Matrix representation of symmetry operations; Derivation of the symmetry operation from the matrix-vector pair and identification of the corresponding symmetry element; Effect of a change of basis on the representation of the symmetry operations and on the Hermann-Mauguin symbol of the space group; Symmetry reduction (group-subgroup) and its consequences on the symmetry operations and Wyckoff positions; International Tables for Crystallography; Point group representation; Space group representation.
Note: Students who wish to attend the pre-course are requested to indicate their choice in the registration form. Participation in the pre-course includes one extra night (6 September).

Bilbao Crystallographic Server (Tutor: Mois I. Aroyo)
The Bilbao Crystallographic Server is a web site with crystallographic databases and programs. It can be used free of charge from any computer with a web browser via Internet. The server has been operating for more than ten years, and new programs and applications are constantly being developed. Due to the variety of the topics related, the programs hosted on the server are grouped into the so called shells which are: Space Groups Retrieval Tools; Magnetic Space Groups; Group - Subgroup Relations of Space Groups; Representation Theory Applications; Solid State Theory Applications; Structure Utilities; Subperiodic Groups: Layer, Rod and Frieze Groups Retrieval Tools; IR, Raman and Hyper-Raman Scattering Tools; The Bilbao Inconmensurate Crystal Structure Database (B-IncStrDB).
