Abstract

Once the German physicist Max von Laue discovered that crystals could diffract X rays (1912), the new phenomenon was applied to the determination of crystalline structures. This article gives some clues on how that subject was introduced in Catalonia and what work was done until the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
