PANalytical, one of the world's leading suppliers of analytical instrumentation and software for X-ray and related techniques, announces their free webinar "Solving structure from powder data: tutorial and best practice" on February 9, 2017 presented by Dr. Gwilherm Nénert, Product Marketing XRD, PANalytical B.V., the Netherlands.
The webinar will show how to solve a crystal structure from powder data using the Empyrean diffractometer and the HighScore software suite [1]. We will discuss the requirements for solving a crystal structure from powder data and we will show recent examples of some vanadates among which a new larnite/belite structure [2]. Furthermore, as phase transitions may appear as function of temperature, the best practice for high-temperature measurements will be presented.
The webinar targets researchers interested to learn how to solve a structure from powder X-ray data and in particular using PANalytical's HighScore suite. Additionally, people interested in the larnite and belite structures could learn how the chemistry stabilizing this structure type can be extended to open avenues for a better understanding of the crystal chemistry of this important crystal type in the cement industry and in mineralogy.
This webinar will include a live question and answer session for our attendees.
