Title |
Rietveld refinement for beginners: bring your data! |
Location |
InterContinental Montréal |
Date |
August 4, 2014 |
Description |
This satellite meeting sponsored by PANalytical will provide training for non experts in Rietveld method. Theoretical aspects of the Rietveld method will be presented with hands-on tutorials devoted to practical cases using x-ray and neutron data. Trial version of HighScorePlus software 4.0 (valid for 3 months) will be installed on attendees PC. The final session of this satellite meeting will be devoted to real scientific problems where the attendees are asked to bring their own powder diffraction data. |

Title |
The Role of Magnetic Symmetry in the Description and Determination of Magnetic Structures |
Location |
Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research (at McMaster University near Toronto) |
Date |
August 14-16, 2014 |
Description |
Lecture presentations and hands-on workshop tutorials will focus on the role of magnetic symmetry in the solution and refinement of magnetic structures. This will include discussions of magnetic neutron diffraction, the proper description of a magnetic structure (e.g. supercell, wave or irrep-mode parameters), magnetic space groups and superspace groups, magnetic systematic absences, the use of symmetry operators to constrain magnetic models, and the use of symmetry in widely-available structure solution/refinement packages. |
