This workshop offers a fantastic training opportunity by world experts.
Dave Taylor’s Alun Bowen lecture (13:00 -13:30) will complement the workshop by highlighting the development of the PDF through his 40 years of active involvement in X-ray analysis. Abstract...
The Powder Diffraction File (PDF) contains over 650,000 entries in two major databases. Release 2009 PDF-4+ contains predominately inorganic materials and has 291,440 material data sets and PDF-4/Organics containing organic and pharmaceutical materials and has 370,844 material data sets. This is a hands on computer workshop that will demonstrate the extensive data mining potential of the PDF4+ database using the powerful search capabilities of DDview and worked examples. The database itself can be data-mined to provide insights into the materials state of matter, crystallinity, solid solution behavior, polymorph composition and multi-phase composition.
The following topics will be covered. · Selecting search criteria for up to 53 unique Search Fields · Viewing/analyzing search results · Using History and standard formats to optimize your searches · Using digital patterns for data simulations and analysis The workshop will continue with the use of the database for phase identification with SIEVE+ software and a varied range of worked examples to allow participants to work on materials of particular interest to them. |
