Dear All, The biennial Powder Diffraction & Rietveld Refinement School at Durham University will take place 10-14th April 2016.
As in previous years, we will offer a combination of lectures covering the theoretical aspects of powder diffraction and Rietveld refinement, classroom-based "by-hand" problem sessions/tutorials and extensive hands-on practical sessions using a variety of modern software packages. Topics to be covered will include: * Data collection strategies for X-ray and neutron diffraction * Constant wavelength and time of flight diffraction * Modelling peak shapes (including microstructure analysis) * Indexing powder patterns * Rietveld, Le Bail and Pawley fitting methods * X-ray and neutron combined Rietveld refinements * Restrained refinements * Rigid body refinements * A number of more specialised and advanced optional topics (ab-initio structure solution, parametric and symmetry-mode refinements) Lectures will be given by Prof. John Evans, Dr. Ivana Evans, Dr. Jeremy Cockcroft and Prof. Andy Fitch. Online applications can be submitted until 22nd January 2016, at the Powder Diffraction & Rietveld Refinement School 2016 website: http://community.dur.ac.uk/john.evans/webpages/pdrr_school_2016.htm Best wishes, Ivana Evans ************************************************************ Dr. Ivana Radosavljevic Evans Reader in Structural/Materials Chemistry Department of Chemistry Durham University Durham DH1 3LE, U.K. Office: CG 244 Phone: (0191) 334-2594 Fax: (0191) 384-4737 www.dur.ac.uk/chemistry/research/academic-groups/i.r.evans/<http://www.dur.ac.uk/chemistry/research/academic-groups/i.r.evans/> ************************************************************
