Crystal lettices

"Habit" of crystals

Lattice, basis, unit cell

Primitive cell, Wigner-Seitz cell

Examples of crystal lattices

Miller indices

PC software to build your own Penrose tile can be downloaded from this link. 

Brain twisters

An interesting link to examples of five-fold symmetry, and the relation to the "Golden Mean" can be found here.
The emergence of the Golden Mean in the route to chaos of the "circle map" can be found in detailed lectures on chaos by Mike Cross (Caltech).

Liquid crystals

Scattering methods

X-ray diffraction, Bragg' law

Neutron diffraction
