Laue method

The Laue method is a technique used in crystallography to determine the arrangement of atoms within a crystal. It involves directing X-rays at a crystal and observing the pattern of spots created when the X-rays scatter. Each spot corresponds to the specific distances and angles between atoms in the crystal, allowing researchers to create a detailed map of its internal structure. This method is valuable in various fields, including materials science and biology, as it helps in understanding how a crystal's structure affects its properties and behavior.
