Rietveld Refinement Course

About The Event

The main purpose of the 3-day Rietveld course is to provide you with a solid base for practicing the Rietveld method using the HighScore Plus software package. Focus of the course is on practical training, starting from phase identification and introduction into the method and the working principles, the influence of important parameters, refinement strategies, quantification of mixtures, the quantification of amorphous material and the basics of the creation of automatic routines like batches or RoboRiet files for automatic quantification. Participants can bring their own files for the hands-on software sessions and further discussions. For the new users of Malvern Panalytical XRD instruments we recommend first to follow the 5-day X-Ray Diffraction Course Part-1: Powder diffraction. KEY BENEFITS: • provide you with a solid base for understanding and using the Rietveld method; • effective and reliable data analysis. This is a paid course at the rate of 690 Euro per participant/per day. For in-person courses offered at Malvern Panalytical, travel and accommodation expenses are not included. Lunches are provided during in-person course days. Course registration will close 3 weeks prior to the course starting date, or as soon as the class is full. Should you cancel your registration less than 15 working days before the start of the course, a cancellation fee of 25% of the cost price will be charged. We reserve the right to cancel courses due to insufficient enrolment or unforeseen circumstances.
