kristálytani
Kristálytani is the Hungarian term for crystallography, the scientific study of crystals. It involves investigating the formation, structure, properties, and applications of crystalline solids. Crystallographers use a variety of techniques, including X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and electron diffraction, to determine the arrangement of atoms within a crystal lattice. This atomic structure dictates many of the crystal's macroscopic properties, such as its hardness, cleavage, optical characteristics, and electrical conductivity.
The field of kristálytani is fundamental to numerous scientific disciplines, including mineralogy, materials science, chemistry, physics,
