67th Polish Crystallographic Meeting
|
In Wroclaw
The Scientific Session of the Young Crystallographers Section of PCrA is a forum for exchanging experiences addressed primarily to students, PhD students and young doctors (maximum 5 years after defense).
The topics of the Meeting include basic and applied research on the ideal and real structure of crystals carried out with the use of X-ray radiation obtained both with traditional methods and in synchrotrons, research with the use of neutrons and electrons, problems of symmetry, phase transformations and crystal growth, new research and computational methods and all other aspects of crystallography. The conference is an annual meeting place and a forum for exchanging ideas of all Polish crystallographers.
During the inauguration of the 67th Polish Crystallography Meeting, the winners of the National Crystallography Olympiad will be decorated: http://olimpiadakrystalograficzna.pl.

In Durham
Applications for places can be made here. The closing date is 23rd December.
The cost of the school will be a maximum of £500 for PhD student delegates and £850 for industry delegates or those with permanent academic positions. This covers accommodation, food and copies of the school material. We are hoping to be able to provide bursaries to financially support some PhD delegates.
The course will include a mixture of lectures, small group tutorials and hands-on computer exercises.
Topics to be covered will include:
  Data collection strategies for X-ray and neutron diffraction
  Constant wavelength and time of flight diffraction
  Modelling peak shapes
  Indexing powder patterns
  Rietveld, Le Bail and Pawley fitting methods
  X-ray and neutron combined Rietveld refinement
  Extended solids and molecular systems
  Restrained refinements
  Rigid body refinements
Magnetic refinements will not be explicitly covered.
Teachers on the course will include John Evans, Ivana Evans, Jeremy Cockcroft, Andy Fitch, Emma McCabe, Robert Dinnebier and a dedicated team of course tutors.

School and Conference on Analysis of Diffraction Data in Real Space
-
In Grenoble
The ADD2026 School and Conference aim to deepen the understanding and to further the training of the various communities working with real-space data analysis methods in neutron and x-ray diffraction. The Fourier transformation of total-scattering diffraction data from reciprocal space into real space produces a Pair-Distribution Function (PDF) that represents a model-independent "snapshot" of the short-range atomic structure within the sample. The PDF(r) thus probes both static and dynamic local atomic correlations (as well as local magnetic spin correlations in the case of neutron diffraction). The measured PDF(r) can then be modelled or simulated using various software packages. These so-called "PDF-analysis" methods are therefore complementary to the well-known Rietveld method of refining diffraction data in Q-space that however provides only a space-time averaged picture of the sample's structure.
