NYU X-Ray Diffraction Workshop
Department of Chemistry, New York University
June 29 - 30, 2016
The Workshop will span two days at New York University, with lectures and hands-on training on the single crystal and powder diffraction. 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 experience and exchange ideas.
Topics
• Basics on single crystal and powder diffraction and the instruments
• Crystallization
• Polymorphism and phase transition
• Phase identification, quantitative analysis, texture analysis, and crystallite size measurement
• Applications of X-ray powder diffraction in industry
• Synchrotron radiation

Location
The workshop will be held in the Silver Complex, on the east side of Washington Square Park. For directions to NYU and the Silver Complex go to http://www.nyu.edu/about/visitor-information/getting-to-nyu.html. Enter the Silver Complex at 32 Waverly Place, just east of the corner of Washington Square East and Waverly Place. You will need to present a photo ID to security, who will direct you to the 1003 Silver (10th floor). Drivers can park in the garage located at the Mercer Street.
Environment
• Outdoor: NYC Weather
• Indoor: The temperature in the lecture room and X-ray lab is maintained at about 72°F (22°C). It would be a good idea to wear a thin sweater or jacket.
