X-ray diffraction

This is a template which you can use to help get you started on the wiki submission. It is just intended as a guide and you may modify the structure to suit your project.

Aims & Learning Outcomes

• Explain the motivation for your visualisation.

• Introduce the subject of your visualisation.
• Which module and year is it intended for and which setting (lecture or self study)?
• List learning outcomes. E.g.: "After using this visualisation, students should be able to explain that..."

This visualisation would be used as teaching tools in MATE50005 (Materials Characterisation) lectures as well as self-study tools in lab sessions. It will also be useful in the MATE70001 module (MSc Characterisation course).

After using this visualisation, students will be able to:

• qualitatively describe the relationship between direct and reciprocal lattices.
• discuss the features of reciprocal space and how they relate to a crystal’s structure.
• relate the motion of a diffractometer to that of the scattering vector through reciprocal space.
• evaluate the effect of experimental conditions on the diffraction patterns obtained.

Design Overview

• What the final outcome was, how it looks, how it functions etc.
• Include graphics.
• Do not include justification or design progression, leave this for later sections.

Design Justification

Assessment Criteria

• List your cohort's assessment criteria. You may want to number the assessment criteria so you can refer to them easily later.

Education Design

• What Methods were considered to convey concepts?
• Design progression, key choices with justifications.
• How has feedback been incorporated.

Graphical Design

• How were accessibility issues considered?
• How was space used effectively?
• Design progression, key choices with justifications.
• How has feedback been incorporated.

• How is the design intuitive?

Interaction Design

• Choice of interactive element(s) that fit in organically with the visualisation [inspiration of choice might be from lecture/in-class activity or other sources] - Sliders/Buttons/Cursor (hover/click).
• Keeping accessibility of interactive elements in mind during design phase.
• Design progression, key choices with justifications.
• How has feedback been incorporated.

Progress and Future Work

• Is the design finalised?
• Which pages have been uploaded to website?
• Any ideas for future improvements.
