Seminar on Advanced X-ray Powder Diffraction Techniques and Applications

European XRD Days Dresden

Seminar on advanced X-ray diffraction techniques and applications

2014 is the UNESCO International Year of Crystallography. We are therefore pleased to invite you to a 2-day seminar on modern aspects of (powder)-X-ray diffraction.
The seminar will focus on: • Advances in powder diffraction; data acquisition and analysis • Analysis of thin layers and nanomaterials • Non-ambient X-ray diffraction: temperature, chemistry, time
Discussions will be encouraged in an informal atmosphere. The primary aim of the XRD days is to benefit the everyday users of X-ray diffraction at universities, research institutions and industrial research & development departments. Each topic will have the following agenda: • 45 minute keynote presentation • 20 minute presentations by participants • 45 minute 'ask the specialist' session
Participants are encouraged to send short abstracts. The scientific committee will select talks, and those chosen to give a presentation will receive a 50% reduction on the registration fee.
