The
course (16-17-18 July 2025) aims at providing PhD Students a general overview about X-ray
diffraction techniques for the structural analysis of materials, with special
emphasis to powder and thin film systems. Besides introducing X-ray diffraction
from a theoretical point of view, the course will also focus on practical/experimental
issues, e.g. describing the main components of commercial diffractometers,
considering sample preparation issues, and practicing on data elaboration and
interpretation.
Lectures will be held all toghether in a lecture room at DISC.
For practical lab activities (ca. 2 hours), the whole class will be divided in small groups. The number of groups will be arranged pending the number of participants.
