Advanced XRD Data Analysis Course
Starts from 15th April 2026 ( L2|01-101, 1.30 pm to 4.30 pm)

Rietveld Refinements

The primary focus of this course is to allow users to understand and interpret XRD data by using Rietveld refinements. This course will use the FullProf program suite to carry out data handling and refinements. For the planning of the course, I have assumed that no one participating in the course knows about Rietveld refinements and the FullProf program. We will build up the necessary knowledge step-by-step and keep the theoretical explanations as small as possible. Instead, I prefer to use real examples to maximize the practical hands-on experience on the refinements.

Bachelor and Master students, please register via the TUCaN platform in order to make sure that your CPs can be ascribed.

PhD students, Postdocs, and others please contact Dr. Marc Widenmeyer for registration.

Please note that this course is only available for up to 10 participants in order to allow for a proper and efficient supervision. Therefore, with respect to your colleagues, please only register to the course, if you are really going to take the course and you are dedicated to learn the method.
