Crystallography is a branch of science that studies the arrangement of “atoms” in solids. This field focuses on determining the internal structure of crystals through diffraction methods to understand the physical and chemical properties of materials systematically and accurately.
Synonyms & Variants
analisis difraksi sinar-x
The primary technical method used in crystallography to determine molecular structure.
ilmu hablur
An older or archaic term for crystallography using a loanword from Arabic.
ilmu kristal
This term is simpler but refers to the same subject.

Usage Notes or Etymology
The term “kristalografi” originates from the combination of two Greek words, namely krystallos which means ice or crystal, and graphein which means to write or draw. In a scientific context, this refers to the systematic methodology for determining the arrangement of atoms in solids. This word has been absorbed into the Indonesian language as a standard technical term used in the fields of “geology”, “chemistry”, and “materials physics” to describe the analysis of internal structures via X-ray diffraction.
