Experimental Methods of X-ray Scattering

Wednesday, October 20, 2004
SLAC Bldg. 40, Orange Room, 8 am - 12 pm, 1 pm - 5 pm BLs 7-2, 2-1, 11-3
Organizers: Sean Brennan, Apurva Mehta and Mike Toney

This will be a hands-on practicum which will occur on BLs 7-2, 2-1 and 11-3. In addition to basic techniques of diffractometer alignment, there will be discussions of how to do specific measurements on each station such as grazing incidence scattering, specular reflectivity, powder diffraction and anomalous scattering. There will also be demonstrations of the recently acquired 900C furnace. The workshop is recommended for students of all ages who would like to be more efficient and effective in using the scattering stations at SSRL.
