it is really a huge loss for the community for powder diffraction. Prof. Rietveld's work was path breaking, which altogether changed the way of looking the thing in crystallography. May the God give the strength to the family and near and dear to overcome this great loss and may the soul rest in pe

A sad day indeed for powder diffraction. The impact of Hugo Rietveld's work can never be overestimated. Developing and applying the Rietveld method has been central to my work for >30 years. Cheers ooo0ooo Ian Madsen Honorary

It is indeed sad news, I was fortunate enough to meet him here in WA (western Australia)  a few years back, and was enthralled by his enthusiasm and eagerness to keep  learning, May he rest in peace and my sincere condolences to his family. Kind regards, Karsten Winter - Original Message -

It's possible it's in your other patterns, too, but because you don't have much background in those, you'll have to look very closely to see anything. I agree it's likely to be a detector issue. Regards, Martin On 4 July 2016 at 10:14, Thomas Winter wrote: > Hey Jeff, > > Thank you very much f

This is a very sad day for the powder diffraction community. Any words I write here cannot add in any meaningful way to the email that was received by members of the mailing list earlier today. What I can say is that discussions will start behind the scenes (and sometimes in front of them) to co

*The passing of Hugo Rietveld, on the 50th anniversary of Rietveld Refinement and the 100th anniversary of Powder Diffraction* It is our sad duty to report the death of Hugo Rietveld at the age of 84 after a short illness. He leaves behind his wife, a son and two daughters to whom we extend our he
