You are cordially invited to the X-Ray Powder Diffraction Workshop in the afternoon of June 21 held at the Department of Chemistry, New York University. The workshop focuses on the advanced techniques of powder diffraction, including applications on 2D diffraction, PDF-4 database search, and structure solution and refinement using TOPAS. If you want to improve your knowledge of powder diffraction, you are encouraged to register. In addition, you are welcome to bring your scientific problems for round-table discussions.
- To promote crystallography, diffraction methods, and X-ray instruments and software
- To network researchers
- To introduce our X-Ray Facility, Department of Chemistry, and NYU
- To attract more users (Interested parties can find how to request services via here)
- Bob He, Bruker, WI
- Nathan Henderson, Bruker, WI
