NYU Diffraction Workshop
Department of Chemistry, New York University
October 24 and 25, 2012

The Workshop and its accompanying Master Class will span two days at New York University, with lectures and hands-on training on the state-of-the art single crystal and powder diffractometers. The Workshop will include lectures from various academic, government, and industrial organizations. Faculty, graduate students, postdocs, and industrial scientists are invited to register. Attendees are encouraged to bring samples of interest to the workshop for the hands-on training Master Class, and scientific problems to the Round-Table Discussion.

Aims 

•    Non-specialists can learn the basics of the X-ray diffraction and receive hands-on training on the operation of the instruments.
•    Experts from similar or related areas can share their expertise and learn something new from each other.

Topics 

•    Basics on single crystal and powder diffraction and the instruments 
•    Crystallization, sample preparation 
•    Crystal engineering in small molecules and macromolecules 
•    Phase identification, and quantitative analysis, texture analysis, crystallite size measurement 
•    Applications of X-ray powder diffraction in pharmaceutical industry 
•    Synchrotron radiation 
•    Neutron diffraction 
•    Total scattering and atomic pair distribution function method 
•    X-ray fluorescence
