Course Objectives		The aim of the course; to understand fundamental principles of crystallography, to give theoretical and application of crystallization, internal order and external forms as first subject of mineralogy, to explain the main headlines related to chemical and physical properties of minerals (crystals). In laboratory; symmetry, face indices and stenographic projection have been thought on the crystals forms. Physical properties have been investigated on natural mineral samples.
Course Description		Definitions of crystal, mineral, mineraloid, crystallography, mineralogy, references and literature for mineralogy-crystallography. Internal order; one-, two- and three-dimensional order, lattices, space groups. Crystallization, crystal growth, structure types, structure defects, twinning, habitus. External form, symmetry, symmetry operations without translation. Translation. Symmetry applications. Crystallographic axes. Weiss and Miller indices. Crystal forms. Zone, zone laws. Crystal projection. Applications. Crystal Systems: Isometric, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic, hexagonal and rhombohedral systems. Classes, forms. Applications. Crystal chemistry. Brief introduction to the physical properties of minerals. X-rays, X-ray diffraction (XRD). Applications.
Course Outcomes		1. Principle of the crystallography. 2. Crystal systems and classes. 3. Internal and external order and forms of crystals. 4. Explain of seven crystal systems. 5. Chemical crystallography and physical properties of minerals (crystals).
