Scientific programme

A series of lectures will be presented that will cover some advanced features of the General Structure Analysis System (GSAS) for Rietveld analysis of powder diffraction data. Subjects to be covered include analysis of sample broadening effects, texture, and magnetic scattering. Application of constraints to refinement of complex structures will also be discussed. Hands-on application of some of these techniques will be made available via computer instruction during the Workshop.

Participants

Applicants should have a good background in the Rietveld refinement technique, some experience with GSAS is also recommended.

Workshop fee

Regular fee is 50 USD, student fee is 30 USD.

Number of participants

Number of participants will be restricted because of the limited number of the computers available. Participants will be registered in the order of the date of their registration form (on-line or off-line) which must be accompanied by the fee.
