Description
This comprehensive course on Advanced XRD Data Analysis provides step-by-step guidance through a series of instructional video tutorials. Participants will learn how to effectively process, analyze, and visualize XRD and FTIR data using Origin and GSAS-II, two powerful software tools widely used in scientific research and industry.
The course covers fundamental techniques such as baseline correction for XRD in Origin, smoothing XRD graphs, deconvoluting peaks, calculating Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM), finding the area under curves, and plotting XRD data for publication. Participants will gain essential skills in determining crystallite size, lattice constants, microstrain, and dislocation density from XRD data using Origin. Additionally, the course explores advanced topics like adding negative hkl indices to XRD graphs, subtracting instrumental broadening, and utilizing Williamson-Hall plots for crystallite size and microstrain analysis.
Participants will also receive instructions on installing and utilizing GSAS-II, a free XRD data analysis software. The course covers simple plotting and refinement of XRD data in GSAS-II, finding and indexing XRD peaks, and utilizing GSAS for efficient XRD data analysis.
By the end of this course, participants will have a strong understanding of advanced XRD data analysis techniques, enabling them to conduct in-depth analyses and generate insightful visualizations for their research and applications.
