This workshop is intended for undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and industrial scientists interested in learning (or refreshing) X-ray powder diffraction fundamentals, and in learning procedures for solving and refining crystal structures from X-ray powder diffraction (laboratory and synchrotron), using free-distribution software. Previous X-ray diffraction or crystallography knowledge is not required.
Workshop attendance (in person and by Zoom) is open to USA and international participants. It is mainly designed for synthetic chemists interested in using powder diffraction to check reaction products (which must be crystalline). In addition to crystal phase identification, occasionally the powders can be used to calculate the crystal structures of solids.
Onsite participants must bring a laptop with Windows OS. Slides will be emailed before the workshop and it is recommended to have a look at them before the workshop activities.
Virtual participants should have a valid account in Zoom.us. The Zoom links and slides will be emailed before the workshop. Virtual participants are encouraged to participate in the activities using a computer with Windows OS.
