Fundamental advances in materials research depend heavily on crystallographic information. Modern crystallography is concerned with the structural topology of the various states of order in matter; in particular, with the atomic arrangement, collective excitations, and electron and defect distributions in solids. The crystallographic techniques of importance to materials research cover a wide range; an overview was published recently.
