- The instrument training courses. This training is required for new users of the lab/instruments, and they are arranged every second week (every week or more often at semester start in the fall), normally Thursdays Mondays at 913:00-1014:15. It is recommended to wait until your samples are ready or nearly ready. Please fill in this form: https://forms.office.com/r/jNrzzN06sM, and then we can adapt the training better for your requirements.

| title | The year in the XRD-lab |
|---|
|
Autumn: September - November: Many new users are coming during this period and we arrange instrument trainings for new users almost every week, or even more often if necessary. Mid-October - November: TOPAS Workshops will be arranged. The TOPAS Workshop assumes some basic knowledge of diffraction, for example TMT4130/TMT4166 or the FACET crash course.
Winter:
December - January: Reduced service levels in the XRD-lab over the Christmas holiday period, thereafter possibly reduced service due to maintenance and upkeep.
Spring:
February-May: XRD-lab running as normal, instrument trainings are arranged approximately every fortnight Late May - Early June: Instrument service period if necessary Late May - Early June: Topas Workshop will be arranged if sufficient demand,add a service request for this in the Booking system if you are interested (or send me an email if you can't get access). if you are interested, please fill out this survey:https://forms.office.com/r/7mWMVwkYXF
Summer: Mid June - mid-August: reduced service levels in the XRD-lab. This is because of holiday / needed time for maintenance and upkeep. That means that only people that are already trained and have access can use the lab (i.e. no new trainings). |

For the start-up training, you will be put in small groups of around 2-3 participants (signing up ca. 4 days in advance) and you will be sent a powerpoint presentation with videos to watch before coming to the training. In quiet times of the year (December to August), this means that you might have to wait up to a few weeks for the group to fill up. In the period September-November, there will normally be at least one training per week. We recommend that you have your samples ready - or nearly ready - at the time of the the training. Then it is easier for us to tailor the training for your specific type of samples, in addition to you being better able to remember the training until you next need to use the instrument on your own. At the start-up training, you will be trained on either DaVinci1 or D8-Focus (please let lab responsible know if you have any preferences on which one), and then you will be qualified to use that specific instrument.
