Abstract

Introduction

Bragg’s equation has become one of the most trusted model used to calculate crystal structures.

2014 marks the 100th anniversary of Max von Laue’s Nobel Prize for discovering that X-Rays fired into a crystal of copper sulfate produced a characteristic diffraction pattern.

2015 will be the 100th anniversary of the Nobel Prize to Bragg and Bragg for their equation that ultimately led to X-ray crystallography.
