Subject:This one-day workshop will focus on the practical aspects of data collection and structure analysis with twinned crystals. The morning session will concentrate on the concept of twinning and software resources, which can be used to treat it. The afternoon will comprise a hands-on computer-based session where the participants can solve and refine twinned structures. Participants are welcome to bring their own problem data sets along.

Friday morning:   places available
If one of the sesions is comlete or only a few places are left we will indicate that on the web site.
Subject and topics:Aided by several tutors, the participants will solve a variety of organic and inorganic crystal structures. The workshop will cover powder indexing, Pawley refinement, space group selection, model building, geometry optimization by force field calculations, structure solution and Rietveld refinement. All calculations will be performed with Reflex Plus, a new powder diffraction module in the PC based materials modelling enviroment Materials Studio.
