Week3

Here are the movie and .jpg files for each group.

In each group folder there are 3 or 4 files. Some of them are movies, and some are figure files. You should be able to play it by Windows MediaPlayer. You may also check out the 'equation' file for the details about the parameters.

Announcement:
 
Dr Mumm has posted several files to this site along with a couple of other files (the chapters and appendices from Cullity that we used in the x-ray diffraction identification lab, and the Naica Crystal Cave presentation that Barbara had provided).
