Rietveld Refinement Course (1) - (ACC Almelo)

About The Event

COURSE CONTENT The 3-day course will be held in the Application Competence Center of Malvern Panalytical (Almelo, The Netherlands), and it will provide the participants 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 Rietveld 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 the participants with a solid base for understanding and using the Rietveld method; • allow the participants to perform effective and reliable data analysis. WHO SHOULD REGISTER • existing users of Malvern Panalytical X-Ray diffractometers who already followed the 5-day X-Ray Diffraction Course Part-1: Powder diffraction; • new users of Malvern Panalytical X-Ray diffractometers, with at least a basic knowledge on crystallography and X-Ray diffraction.
