Dear All, The biennial Powder Diffraction & Rietveld Refinement School at Durham University will take place 29th March-2nd April 2020.
The information about the School content and format, practical information (deadlines and fees) and the application link are available at: https://community.dur.ac.uk/john.evans//webpages/pdrr_school.htm<https://community.dur.ac.uk/john.evans/webpages/pdrr_school.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 distortion mode refinements) Lectures will be given by Prof. John Evans, Prof. Ivana Evans, Dr. Jeremy Cockcroft and Prof. Andy Fitch. Best wishes, Ivana Evans ************************************************************ Ivana Radosavljevic Evans Professor in Structural/Materials Chemistry Royal Society - Leverhulme Senior Research Fellow Durham University Department of Chemistry Durham DH1 3LE, U.K. 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/> Twitter: @ivana_evans ************************************************************
