[sdpd] RIET: Registration deadline 13th April - Seventh Canadian Powder Diffraction Workshop - 16th to 18th May 2007, Trois-Rivières , Québec , Canada

                  Registration deadline 13th April

              http://www.cins.ca/cpdw/registration.html

            Seventh Canadian Powder Diffraction Workshop
Pavillon Ringuet, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada
                Wednesday 16th to Friday 18th of May, 2007

                      http://www.cins.ca/cpdw/

 The third day of workshop is PDF (Pair Distribution Function) and
  Total Scattering Analysis presented by Dr Thomas Proffen of Los
  Alamos National Laboratory, USA

The main theme of the workshop is in the fundamentals of using powder
diffraction, and assisting participants in using the Rietveld method.
Lectures on a variety of topics are planned for the morning, with the
afternoon practical sessions concentrating on using GSAS for performing
Rietveld analysis for structure refinement and quantitative phase
analysis.

The first two days of this workshop concentrates on powder diffractoin
and Rietveld Analysis. The third day focusses on PDF (Pair Distribution
Function)/Total Scattering analysis of amorphous, disordered, poorly
crystalline or nano-crystalline materials.

Trois-Rivières is located roughly mid way between Montréal and Québec
City. The most convenient airport is Dorval International Airport (now
called Montréal-Trudeau Airport) in Montréal; and is a 75 minute drive
from Montréal and from Québec City.
