Dear All, The biennial Powder Diffraction & Rietveld Refinement School at Durham University will take place 8-12th April 2018.
The applications deadline is approaching - online applications can be submitted until the end of next week, 19 January 2018, at the School website: community.dur.ac.uk/john.evans/webpages/riet_register.htm<https://community.dur.ac.uk/john.evans/webpages/riet_register.htm> 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. Best wishes, Ivana Evans ************************************************************ Dr. Ivana Radosavljevic Evans Associate Professor/Reader in Structural/Materials Chemistry Durham University Department of Chemistry Durham DH1 3LE, U.K. Office: CG 244 Phone: (0191) 334-2594 www.dur.ac.uk/chemistry/research/academic-groups/i.r.evans/<http://www.dur.ac.uk/chemistry/research/academic-groups/i.r.evans/> ************************************************************
