<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The first two days of this
workshop concentrates on powder diffraction and Rietveld Analysis. The third
day focuses on PDF (Pair Distribution Function)/Total Scattering analysis of
amorphous, disordered, poorly crystalline or nano-crystalline materials.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
