Krystalografia w Polsce
Journal Title: Wiadomości Chemiczne - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 5
Abstract
The history and present state of crystallography in Poland have been presented. The beginnings of crystallography are connected with mineralogy. In 1953 crystallography was introduced as an obligatory subject in university chemistry curricula, producing new crystallography laboratories, and separating crystallography from mineralogy. In 1956 Wł. Trzebiatowski initiated at the Technical University of Wrocław the annual X-Ray Crystallographic Meetings, which became the “Crystallographic Meetings” of the Polish Academy of Sciences. In 2013 the 55th such Meeting took place. Committee of Crystallography PAS consists of five Sections: 1/ Structural Analysis (crystal chemistry), 2/ Applied Crystallography (polycrystalline materials), 3/ Crystal Physics 4/ Crystal Growth and 5/ Protein Crystallography. The present state of Polish crystallography is described in these five segments. A paragraph is dedicated to the role of Polish crystallographers in the North American science.
