[sdpd] RIET:Clay: Registration deadline - Sixth Canadian Powder Diffraction Workshop - 8th to 10th May 2006, Waterloo University, Canada

Third announcement of the Sixth Canadian Powder Diffraction Workshop : 

    Registration and payment deadline is 14th of April 2006

-------------------------
 

                Sixth Canadian Powder Diffraction Workshop
William G. Davis Centre, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
                Monday 8th to Wednesday 10th of May 2006
 
                      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.

Speakers:
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.

Thanks to the continued generous support of the University of Waterloo
in the use of their facilities, registration costs have been maintained
at a very reasonable price. Waterloo is located in Southern Ontario and
the closest passenger airport is the Pearson International Airport in
Toronto. Airport shuttles operate to the University of Waterloo campus.
For those who like to fly themselves, Waterloo Regional International
Airport is available for use as well.

   Students: Cdn $150  
   Academics and not-for-profit organisations: Cdn $180

Accompanying Person(s)

As workshop participants may like to use the meeting as a jumping off or
stopping point for a vacation with friends and/or family (e.g., Niagara
Falls is less than 2 hour drive away), a good starting list of
Accompanying Person(s) resources is also included on the conference
webpage at:
