Dear All, The biennial Powder Diffraction & Rietveld Refinement School will take place at Durham University, 30th March - 3rd April March 2014.
As in previous years, the course will offer a combination of lectures covering the theoretical aspects of powder diffraction and Rietveld refinement, 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 * Indexing powder patterns * Rietveld, Le Bail and Pawley fitting methods * X-ray and neutron combined Rietveld refinement * Restrained refinements * Rigid body refinements Lectures will be given by Prof. John Evans, Dr. Ivana Evans, Dr. Jeremy Cockcroft and Prof. Andy Fitch. For any information not covered on the School website please contact Ivana Evans (ivana.radosavlje...@durham.ac.uk<mailto:ivana.radosavlje...@durham.ac.uk>). Online applications can be submitted until 20th January 2014 at the Powder Diffraction & Rietveld Refinement School 2014 website: http://community.dur.ac.uk/john.evans/webpages/pdrr_school_2014.htm.
